When I was almost to Mt. Vernon, WA, I stopped at a highway rest stop and discovered this old tree stump. It had just started raining, the first and last rain I saw on this road trip.
It is hard to imagine the size of the entire tree, although cedars grow tall and wide they are not as tall as Douglas Fir or Coastal Redwoods. But can you imagine an entire forest of cedars 20 feet in diameter and 200 feet tall? Awesome.
This is the best I could do on this image - click to enlarge and make it more legible.
This closeup is of the inside of the stump.
Still raining when I left the rest stop, but it stopped about the time I reached Mabel's house.
