I've been having quite a few problems at home (which I commented on
AP Clash 2010 during the final round post)...SOOO I decide to go hiking to release some stress.
I went to two hikes - one easy 5-hour one on Saturday, and then a tougher OMGI'MGONNADIEWAITNEVERMIND 2-3 hour hike on Sunday. The first hike was kinda uneventful and long; the second one had more to see and fit more with the cliche woodsy feeling you think of when you go on hikes.
The second one was apparently engulfed in flames a few years back, and was also the scene of a mountain-lion-kills-hiker incident shortly after. You could see long sections of dead areas, and even longer stretches of new plant life emerging. At the top, I saw a pretty cool tree that..well..reminded me of the whole "life from the ashes" theme:
Tree at the Top of the Mountain
The huge blackened branches of the burned tree poking out of a new tree growing out of the center.
It's cheesy, but it felt like a message x).
