Nevada would do well by hiring you to be an ambassador because there is no one else that is as knowledgeable and entertaining as you. Thanks for the trip!

    Thanks for taking us along with you to the Sky Islands. I remember that pine perfume well, it reminds me of Christmas. When I was a small boy my family would shop for a Christmas Tree, and the whole lot smelled of pine. Something about that smell just makes me happy. So now whenever I go to a place where the pine trees flourish I'm reminded of those magical days long past. >5k years? That's one old tree! And I thought that the the giant sequoia trees held that title.

      Nevada used to have the oldest tree on earth until the forest service gave a forestry grad student from NC a permit to cut it down. It was another bristlecone that turned out to be 200 years older than the current California record holder. It was on Wheeler Peak, the number 2 most prominent mtn in Nevada behind Charleston.

    Many moons ago, my college geology classmates and I went on a field trip to the White Mountains out of Bridgeport, CA, and checked out the bristlecone trees there, including the oldest one known. We did some fossil hunting thereabouts as well. Such a wonderfully rich diversity of alpine flora among the dolomite crags. Hope your depression eases off. Take heart: you have more than a quarter million subscribers who wish you well and care enough about you to tune in every Wednesday and catch up with your latest wanderings. How many people can say that? Some of us are lucky to have one or two people in our lives who actually give a 💩whether we draw another breath. Be well, and stay safe!

    5 yrs in Modoc and Shasta county up 4,000 in the mountains, trust me, for some of us, you do have a smell a vision. Some of the springs even make my mouth water because there was a natural snow melt spring that came up right on one place we only used a metal screen to filter any twigs or leaves. If everyone tasted that water, they would give up tap and bottled both. I took some in jugs back to Iowa to visit home and my nephews and niece drank my 2 week supply I brought in 3-4 days. They couldn't believe that was fresh right out the ground and tasted so good.
