Back to the search for big old trees. With a long logging history, only a few are left in the Vancouver surrounding. The General and his wife, two big old Redcedars, on Vicar Lakes trail were easy to find. It took more searching to locate Temple of Time Grove and Pipe Organ Grove. One amazingly long Douglas Fir lays toppled on the ground, away from the trail many meters through dense brush finally down a creek bed. This is possibly the largest tree in this grove, the Will Koops Giant. I also explore some of the gigantic stumps left behind after decades of logging like the one found on the ‘More Stumps Trail’. Hope that the remaining few old giants will be left standing for many years to come.
