    Here I stand, a tiny human, at the root wad of maybe the biggest drift log I've seen, a gargantuan Sitka spruce. It's been lodged in the sand of First Beach at La Push for several years. The beast undoubtedly came down on high flows one of the rivers of the Olympic rain forests. My sweetie took the pic. #ThickTrunkTuesday #AltText

    @GPJohnston And just think, most of the trees in the Northwest used to be this size. It makes me incredibly sad hiking past absolutely massive stumps in the woods.

      @ingalls I think about that too. Glad our forebears created national parks like Olympic to save at least some of the giant forests that once covered the PNW.

          @GPJohnston I knew this was the PNW without looking at the text.

          What a lovely.

                      @sarae It’s impressive. Saw a drift log at Kalaloch South Beach Campground once that was maybe as big, smaller root wad but thicker trunk, as I recall. Quite awhile ago.
