h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

40 meters? Pah, with old growth, the branches are unlikely to start that far down!

but I just posted that idea on the hi Neugan thread.Oh,the kind editors/moderators at h2g2 removed my post which had our phone # on it-whew! G`s not 1 to be suspicious,but he thought I`d definitely lost it by posting that bit.Also,Redwood bark shreads he pointed out.But,at the thought of sharing a lovely beer on the ground,he calmed down a bit.As I said,oak trees are fun to climb-redwood trees are fun to admire.tree Neugan

Maybe when I get my digital camera, I'll take a picture of the little ones (well, OK, medium-sized, but still not large) by the 6 above-ground-stories building I w*rk in. Then maybe njan will understand why we're a bit incredulous that he could climb one of your big 'uns...

There should be an 'attach' button in your e-mail program which you can use to attach files to e-mails; you can't attach pictures to postings. Once you've clicked attach, you should be able to search in "My Computer" for the pictures on disk (click on the "3 1/2'' floppy disk" icon and they should be there. .. if you want to send them to me, I could always distribute them to anyone else who wants to see.

Just because there aren't branches doesn't mean it's unclimbable. It just makes it more dangerous (to a level I wouldn't want to risk myself with in front of anyone who cares about me.)

Hi james-Gary claims all he needed was an address to send a picture to-it`d be lovely for you to show all interested the pictures. Neugan

If you want to send them to me, you're welcome to use the address in the posting above ([email protected])

Njan-we did indeed try last nite-We`ve an entire roll of lovely pictures,Gary transferred them to the computer but not to the hard-drive(that`s the next step).We tried sending 1 picture to you at your address last nite called'redwood photo'or something.Do see if you got it.Oh- thanks so much the h2g2 moderation team removed my offending address & #phone from my 2 e-mails-G keeps muttering that I`ve sent our address to ax murders- But please check your "reg" e-mail???? trees.Neugan

Aha! Having checked my mail (I'm surprised I evidently haven't done that so far today.. ), I have received the picture you sent!

enquiring minds want to know.... What do you think of the redwood Njan?

Goody!!Can you enlarge it? There`re several more I want to send.G took an entire roll when he first got here.Be-ing G he said he`d done it before-thank you very much-& could do it again(send multiple pictures)In a word-HA!.But at least 1 made it accross the Atlantic-so more shall follow(I`ll ask Amy). the h2g2 moderators removed my offending ph# & address(G kept muttering I`d have an ax-murderer at my back door.Do send the picture round if anyone`s interested-It`s raining today,so I`ll keep trying to send more! tree Neugan

Those ones look rather a lot like the douglas firs that I have in my front garden, or an evergreen version of the poplars that I've climbed in the past, except much bigger; they're climbable, but challenging. You /do/ need equipment, so I'll probably be consigning myself to oak trees only; they're a bit more managable.

I've sent that one to Marv already; and I'll send them to anyone else who expresses an interest. .. *awaiting incoming mail*

Didn't you know, Neugen? Everyone that was at the Pennsylvania Dutch Meet last summer (including me) is an axe murderer--we all agreed

Hi njan-sent you another picture on your 'normal' site! trees Neugan
