River's Edge
Masterpiece
Found this Mountain Hemlock in the fog and rain at 3800 feet today. Older thicker base growing in a classic pocket on bedrock. 1 1/2 hours to dig. Started the hike at 8:45 this morning and got back to the truck at 4:45 this afternoon. Glad i had the GPS with the fog,rain and heavy snow to slog through in sections higher up. No buds breaking at this level this year, maybe in a few weeks. Only the exposed southern rock faces were clear.
