Walking the Giant Spruce Trail in the early morning in the Siuslaw National Forest, we are greeted by misted sunshine and the smell of campfire smoke drifting through the rain forest. Berries and flowers hang from 6 foot high walls of ferns on both sides of the trail. The trail leads to a huge Sitka Spruce tree that grew out of a "nurse log" 500 years ago. That would be about the time of Christopher Columbus (for those of you in Loma Linda).
