Thanks for the feedback, Will & Don! I have corresponded a little with Chris Earle--a good idea to run this question by him. I'm not in contact with Dr. Van Pelt, though I'm a great admirer of his work.

The giant conifers, of course, are a great attraction; but so are the immense Black Cottonwoods & wonderfully eccentric old Oregon As...

I'm a writer & naturalist living in the maritime Northwest, and my main areas of focus--and my passions--are wild landscapes, physical geography, the classification of landforms & ecosystems...
