RE: Old Growth Forest: Hartwick Pines State Park
What a wonderful blog. Beautiful pictures! What a lovely day.
When I was a child we lived in the foothills of the Shawangunk Mountains (part of the NE Appalachians). Our house was actually on a road that traced an old Indian trail. Anyway, behind our home was forest--untouched, undeveloped. As the years passed, this untouched area became smaller. When I look at a map now, I see homes up there. Roads. I don't know what's left. What I do know is that, as children, we didn't have much but we had that beautiful, untouched forest for a playground.

That sounds amazing! We still have some pretty vast expanses of forest that are untouched here in Michigan, but I think they are also slowly getting smaller. I have a friend whose husband and daughter are hiking the Appalachian trail right now, they just hit Maine earlier this week.
