Such beautiful pictures! Thank you for doing the hard part of reading and gathering this information so I can digest it super easily. I get super afraid of being alone in life, so the story about the commander's wife got to me a bit.

Man, living in Michigan sometimes feels like just a piece of paper with how flat it is relative to other states. These high-ground pictures showing all of the trees are always some of my favorites! Just something soo special about them for me.

Great post!
