Day 121
Stay strong, my friend
July 25th, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Yes stay strong is correct.
In the Great Smoky Mountains National Park hemlocks are being devastated by the HEMLOCK WOOLLY ADELGID!

That is sad to see Don. I hope the hemlocks can develop some resistance. I haven’t been to the Smoky’s since my Mom moved in with me, over 10 years ago.
Majestic. Except for the altitude difference, that could be the view around where I live.
Love those pines, and those mountains. I would be right at home there.
wait…what??
huh? wait…what??…what??? *blink* *blink* lol
Angelica…Matt is talking about the tree staying strong against the bark beetles. They are destroying forests all over the place. This particular tree looks healthy…so Matt’s wishing it well.
Stay Strong BIG TALL PINE! You too Matt!
Ditto!
