Wind and Walls - The Tallest Man on Earth
And so, singing songs of rivers tied to accidents within
Telling people lies of lions, treasures, and kings
Nothing’s more revealing than the dancer and the doubt
Waving to forget what’s never gone, always there, never right

Pine Park Getaway 

It has been a couple of months, but I still daydream about Pine Park, situated within Dixie National Forest. Growing up mushroom hunting in the Saint-Germain-en-Laye forest, west of Paris, France, I was ecstatic to find Alice in Wonderland sized mushrooms here. Granted these were non-edible, and made out of tuff (formed by volcanic ash flows 18-14 million years ago), but the moody sky contrasted beautifully with these gargantuan figures. As we made our way further down the road, smaller hoodoos poked their heads up among the pinyon pines, until we fell upon a child’s paradise; a picturesque viewpoint was perfectly framed by pine trees, and let the mind wander into another dimension, a fantasy world where cats can talk, rabbits can tell the time, and you can dig for apples. About two hours North of St George, Utah, Pine Park provides a variety of shaded dispersed camping sites, and is well worth the detour.

Hey new followers, welcome aboard and thanks for joining me!  I feel like most of you are here because of that one post I made two months ago (if not, I am sorry, and you have my permission to ignore the next few sentences).  As gratifying as it is to know that people are enjoying that post, I think you should know that I don’t actually talk much at all about my workout techniques, “”progress,”” fitness, or any of that kind of thing.  Here’s a bit of an intro to my blog.

Hello friends, my name is Ellen and I am a book-loving, coffee-guzzling, art-making nature nerd.  I have two degrees in forestry.  I like road trips, drinking, reading, melancholy indie music, classic rock, science fiction, swimming, and camping.  I post a bunch of nature & animal pictures, nerd stuff (Star Trek and Lord of the Rings, for the most part), and various history/literature/ecology things that I find interesting.  So there you have it.  If it’s not your thing, that’s okay, I won’t get mad if you split.
