    The Bristlecone Pines, unlike the Sequoias and Redwoods, have the wonderful character that shows their looong life's journey. Thanks SJ.

    The rifle is a Winchester Model 1873, a beautiful and popular rifle then and now. Winchester still makes the rifle, although the gun is made by Miroku in Japan. Uberti, an Italian gunmaker, also makes a popular replica of the famous lever action. Some people say the Winchester 1873 was the AR-15 of its day. The gun was issued to military troops and was popular amongst the civilians. A movie was made of the gun, "Winchester 1873", starring Jimmu Stewart

    Love those Darn Tough socks! Not cheap, but worth it if you hike a lot. The ones I own are Merino wool and you can wear them multiple days in a row without an odor. Also lifetime wear guarantee.

    Here is additional information about the oldest living (non-clonal) tree in the world. This off the top of my head, without doing any research. I lied, just after typing that sentence I looked the situation up. In 1964 the Methuselah Tree was 4,793, years old and located in the White Mountains, on the Inyo National Forest in California. The Prometheus Tree was aged at 4,862 years old in 1964 and located on what was then the Humboldt National Forest. It is now in Great Basin National Park. That means old Prometheus was 69 years older at the time. It was a true tragedy this happened. A researcher, a PhD candidate, was researching the tree and his increment borer got stuck in the tree. These borers take a core sample that is removed from the center of the borer. The U.S. Forest Service and the researcher did not think tree was that old so they decided to cut the tree down to retrieve the borer. They were stunned when they realized what happened. The story was not widely publicized so as far as most people knew Methuselah had always been the oldest pine tree.

    You are the craziest 😅 I so love you for it. You always make me smile and laugh, so I always look forward to Wednesdays. Your not alone when you describe your thoughts when hiking, when I used to do long distance running I would imagine taking apart a car or take apart an engine and rebuild it in my head. Thank you for taking us along and your hard work is not lost to us, your loved by many and our prayers are always with you. God bless you Sarah Jane.👍👍👍👍👍❤🇺🇸
