Hobbits in the Woods



Eric and Annie took Hannah and Luke to Muir Woods near San Francisco for a New Year's Day outing. Wish I could be there with them but they sent me these lovely pictures. Nice to know they are thinking of me. I visited Muir Woods many years ago. The ancient redwood forest was going to be cut down to rebuild San Francisco after the big earthquake a hundred years ago. Several people got together, bought the woods, and named it after the environmentalist, John Muir. The redwoods are mystical and magical, with fairies peeking around every corner.
