Scenery Along the Green Springs Highway OR-66. The Road Has Come Up Into The Low Mountains, At ~3600 feet Elevation.
…Due To Dry Climate, For Mile After Mile, Google Street View Shows That => The Trees Are Sparse, With Lots Of Large Hot Sunny Open Areas.
…But Finally Was Able Find This Pull Off Shady Place, With A Big Tree.
…And Here Take A Photo, To Illustrate => The ZMM Narrator’s Tree To Lean Back Against, and Deep Shady Woods, While Chris Walks Among The Douglas Fir Trees.

The ZMM Narrator Says =>
…“The road goes up now into the forests of huge trees not at all like the rain-starved forests we’ve been through. Huge Douglas firs are on either side of the road. On the cycle we can look up along their trunks, straight up, for hundreds of feet as we pass between them. Chris wants to stop and walk among them and so we stop.
…While he goes for a walk I lean my back as carefully as possible against a big slab of Douglas fir bark and look up and try to remember. “

NOTE1: The ZMM Narrator tells us => “Huge Douglas firs are on either side of the road. On the cycle we can look up along their trunks, straight up, for hundreds of feet as we pass between them” However, using Google Street View and looking closely along Rt-66, in the mountainous areas, no trees this huge were seen. Some of the largest are seen in the above Google Street View, and the next.

NOTE2: What the ZMM Narrator tells us => IS ACTUALLY SEEN about 50 miles North of here, along the higher elevation parts of Rt-140, some eleven miles West of Upper Klamath Lake, OR. This road runs close to the North Fork Little Butte Creek, the moisture of which may help the trees here grow much taller. You May See Several Of Henry Gurr’s 2002 Photos Of Huge Douglas Fir Trees Along Rt-140. AFTER This Comes Up, Please Scroll Down To, And Read, At the 10th, 11th, & 12th Small Photos. Click Here.
