I thought the Environmentalists since the 60's were the ones to start saving the forests - Turns out these Rich Folks from 1918 started setting aside and protecting the old growth redwoods. According to one sign at the Rockefeller Park In the 1930 he donated 2 million dollars and purchased over 10 percent of the totaled of the now save old growth Redwoods. There is a partially hidden bronze plate near the entrance to the J. Smith Redwood park in commemoration of the Daughter of the American Revolution purchasing that park in 1908 with donations from the large lumber mills at the time. There have been good people with their own money doing good things long before the government environmentalist started to with someone else's money. 2012-10-13T02:32:08+00:00monthlyhttps://papamikeonatrike.com/2012/10/10/12-10-10-wednesday-178-days-40-miles-today-good-level-day-resupply-at-walmart-and-hanging-out-comfort-inn/https://papamikeonatrike.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/10-10-wed-another-great-night-after-40-miles-to-fortuna-breakfast-included.jpg10-10 Wed Another great night after 40 miles to Fortuna - breakfast included.

I walked about a 50 yards from the camp into the woods, then turned and looked back and did not see the tent or tarp. Walked looking for berries a little ways. When I turned around to go back to the camp I followed my trail back for a few yards, then just struck out in the general direction. Well I took 20 more minutes to find the camp again. Only because I could walk to the dirt road past the camp and then find it from the road. With out the road for a guide, I might still be looking for the camp until the next day.

Ya know even the days that do not seem to have much in them are full of the unexpected, unique never to happen again in either the time or space. The surroundings are always different. Even the routine of peddling the bicycle is always different as to the feel of the environment, views, cool, hot, up, down sun, rain and just what energy each of us has in the present. That is what makes the Bicycle or hiking journey different than a car, motor home trip with the constant set, speed, temperature, lighting in day, and at night, The constant blur and out of touch with the ever changing reality of nature. I wonder is perhaps there a reason to fix the natural environment into the constant of a computer program of predictable results - The weather changes, species have come and gone and come again humans change and so does the environment. Our own arrogance and ego demand that we are the cause and reason of all this. If only we can get every one and everything to perform the way we want it to then the world will be safe, secure, predicable, sustainable, balanced, livable. Of course the humans who are in charge then change their minds, whims, or something and the program they want. So it is Global Cooling of 40years ago coming, then Global Warming is coming for 20 years, now just Climate Change each with the same mantra, act the way we say or we are all doomed, "Be afraid!!" How about we clean up each mess we find, as it comes along and Fear NOT.
