[ENTS] Re: National Geographic, October 2009

[Barry Caselli]

My parents have been to the park where Generals Sherman and Grant are. I envy them. My National Geographic issues include: --Issues from 1911 and 1916 with articles on the very beginning of commercial blueberry growing in New Jersey. --An issue from 1956 on the Bristlecone Pines, including Methuselah, and about dendrochronology. --An issue from 1959 with an article on the park where Generals Sherman and Grant are. --A 1964 issue with articles on Finding the world's tallest tree, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-tunnel and the New York World's Fair. --A 1974 issue with an article about the New Jersey Pine Barrens. and so on...   Good stuff.

Being in a grove of colossal giants is like nothing else I have ever experienced.  They are simply titan sentinels of Earth.  Something more primeval than any other forest I have been in permeates the air there, moreso than the Amazon forests of Brazil. Any ENTS with the means should go see these forests of truly ancient trees. I read a sign in the park that said Rockefeller Forest(the contiguous old-growth portion of the park) contains seven times the biomass per acre, living and dead, of any other biome on earth. -Jon On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 7:32 PM, Barry Caselli <criterion1...@yahoo.com> wrote: I haven't seen a new National Geographic in many years. I have a collection of older ones, dating from 1911, on into the 1970s, each issue having a special meaning to me, either one or more articles that are in it, or maybe a specific car advertisement of the period.
