With only a few hours available to christen my new snowshoes, we headed up the Finch Lake trail to visit Hercules. Unfortunately, there really wasn't enough snow to warrant the snowshoes, but I did have them on for about half a mile and loved them. Hercules lives in fairly secluded meadow, just below a ridge, so she is protected from the vicious winds. Over 600 years old, Hercules spreads her arms into a graceful canopy, unusual growth for a douglas fir. I have many special trees that I visit on my favorite trails. I think I have a new friend.
