| On Monday, May 10th I drove up to the Mountain Home Grove and spent the day exploring up there. It is a magnificent grove, mostly on state forest land, but some of it is on National Forest land and some is part of Balch County Park. It is one of the largest groves and contains many of the top 40 trees and its largest is the Genesis Tree, #8. It was foggy up there and I love it when it's like that... To just sit and watch the mist move through and swirl around the trees is an incredible experience :) |
