Climbing 2 trees in Topanga Canyon was created by nickfromwi

Yesterday Greg and I (and Karina, too) went to Topanga Canyon and climbed 2 Coast Live Oaks (Quercus agrifolia). The trees are named Tank and The Hammock Tree.

It was neat because on this same day the LA Orienteering Club was having this big race/get together thing, and one of their clues led all the orienteers to the big water tank under the tree Tank (hence the name). Lots of people saw us climbing!

I only have a couple pictures. Karina brought Club crackers and gouda cheese. We had cheese and crackers up in the tree!

Enjoy the pics!

It appears that file or image attachment is not enabled (yet?). You can still use the tag if you host the photo somewhere else. -moss[img] tag if you host the photo somewhere else.

Here's a neat pic...some one had made a Andy Goldsworthy style eco-art project. They took some grass reeds and made a fency thing between one of the Hammock Tree's lowest branches....

My favorite line: \"Oh, I'm stuck!\"

Next time I'll bring a camera and food.

Everything that was to happen had happened and everything that was to be seen had gone. It was now one of those moments when nothing remains but an opening in the sky and a storyâ€”and maybe something of a poem. Norman Maclean

Greg and Nick are so Hollywood! Nick saying \"Cut!\" was my favorite part with \"I'm going to be impaled!\" a close runner-up. \"I'm stuck\" was good too. Perfect trailer for your upcoming feature film/musical. \"Topanga Trouble\". A classic buddy flic complete with thrills and chills six feet off the ground! Have to figure out away to include Nick in his treeboat stretched high between two ponderosa singing \"Oh what a beautiful morning\" with Greg sitting on a big branch playing along with banjo (or mandolin?).
