Spent a couple of hours exploring Rock Spring today. Will go back
soon and attempt to find the letterboxes. By the time I understood
the trails well enough to decipher the clues, fingers and toes were
getting numb.
My question is about part of the trail that took us through two rows
of very tall pine trees. It was just amazing. All of our mouths
dropped open when we saw them. I've searched the net and Rock Spring
literature for information about them but can't find anything. Can
anyone share anything about them with me?

Not sure if my memory is accurate anymore but probably a telephone pole and
a half tall. They were bare on the bottom 3/4, the tops had greens. I just
sent some film off to Mystic, maybe I'll be able to upload a photo to yahoo
next week so you can see. :)

Hi. I uploaded that photo of the tree pathway I was asking questions about. Of course the photo doesn't do it justice. The picture is a bit dark. You can see my "family" hugging the trees. I hope to get a box planted in the general area soon. Maybe entice a few people to see it for themselves.
