Gettin' shady with some trees.....

So we went on a little adventure,  just got in the car and drove to where ever the road took us.  We basically ended up in the Olympic National Forest. Now if you never been there, its the northwest corner of Washington.  The forest has a lot to see and do.  It consists of rainforest, mountains, lakes, rivers and the coastal beaches. I mean there's so many options. 
Well while driving thru we took a detour when we saw a sign that said "world record spruce".  So we took a little hike in the woods in search of this tree.  It wasn't a long hike or hard hike, which was good since I have a bummed hoof right now.  But if you like nature and like fun little things like this and have an extra hour I suggest to go check it out for one of those "I did this..." stories you can tell later.  There's also a camp ground near by if you like to camp and want to take advantage of some of the other trails out there too.  It really was pretty and I plan on going back myself.

This is the sign on the road indicating the trail....

On the trail....

Standing at the opposite end of the bridge you have to cross to get to the tree.  This was the only way to see the tree and get it all into frame...

Looking up from the base of the tree.....

My mister standing by the tree so you can see how big it really is (he's 6' tall) ....
