Dorothy wanted to drive up to town to have someone along on the annual "Hunt for the Elusive Red Fir" Christmas trees. We were hoping to get up into elevations that are the environment for such a creature, but were unwilling to get stuck, so we settled for a lower species. It was lots of fun and got into the holiday spirit. We went back up again today to get 2 more trees, only this time, we only got to the junction of the Squirrel Creek Road (25N18) to the 25N29 road, below Argentine Rock Lookout.
