One of my favorite places to visit is Bristlecone Pine Forest. Hiking through the oldest living beings, you get a sense of wonder and awe as to how these trees manage to live in conditions that seem to defy life. Unfortunately, a few trees were burned during a fire a few years ago, which goes to show that even these ancient trees are not immortal. So if you have a chance, take a day to explore Bristlecone Pine Forest for yourself and get a look at the oldest living tree, Methuselah.

September 7 is only 13 days away. So, what’s so significant about September 7? Well, it’s Labor Day.
So what? Labor Day comes every year.
You see, this year it’s different. Labor Day, 2009, is the date shortly after which the state of California proposes to close about 100 of its state parks.
Many interest groups and philanthropic agencies are trying to raise the money to keep these parks open.
If you live in California, write your state legislative representative, and tell him or her that the state parks are vital to our well-being and must not be closed.
