Community Forest
For today’s hike, the plan was to head to the local “community Forest”. So that is what we did, and it certainly did not disappoint. There is about 2,000 hectares or about 8 square miles of recreational space. Suitable for hiking, biking, horseback riding, and bird watching! We did manage to make it up to the “windy bluff” lookout point, which required about 250 metres of elevation gain to achieve. For a third day in a row the weather was being very cooperative — big bonus for that! Hope the lucky weather streak continues for tomorrow’s hiking. Fingers crossed. Thanks for stopping by.

Great achievement for today. Windy cliffs!
Hope the weather will remain friendly until your expedition is finished, brother :)
Cooperative weather is always pleasant and welcome. Thanks for dropping by.
You're welcome my brother :)
You done amazing work these pictures are very beautiful 😍
Thank you @nov13.
My pleasure ✨
Community forest means that people went there and planted trees? Or it's managed and kept well by the community?
I like how the tree in the first photo managed to survive making other trunks on the side when the main broke
Managed by the community. Looks like that tree really wanted to survive!
Wow ooo, these these community forest look very beautiful and wonderful, and they are used as recreational center for entertainment, that's very fantastic 👍♥️. In my place, the forest there are very lonely only wild animals are found there. Dear your doing well for posting all these, ride on 👍.
I suppose it could be more dangerous in your forest?
Yeah
That's a pretty big recreational space! A lot of things can be done there! Awesome!
So, the photos are recent, aren't they! I believe, previously you used to share the photographs from your previous year's outing.
!BBH
Usually that is the case, but not always. That being said, still have a ton of photos from last year to publish...
The elevation gain to the windy bluff must have been so worth it for those views. Three days of perfect hiking weather is incredible luck, hope it keeps up for you.
Fourth day in a row with great weather. Incredible!
absolutely magnificent
Thanks.
The trees look gigantic
Yes they were.
The bark of the tree from the second tree pictures is beautiful. Although it looks like the pattern was made by rain or maybe constant water and rain dropping on the tree bark.
A very typical pattern on these trees, and really beautiful!
It is Lodgepole Pine (Pinus contorta), and typically has that appearance when it grows inland. At the coast where I live it has an entirely different aspect, twisted and stunted by the storms blowing in off the mighty Pacific. Here is it called Shore Pine, but it does not grow straight and tall like the inland trees in Forest Grove. Elk love to graze on the grass in Lodgepole Pine forests, and Forest Grove is a great place to hunt elk.
A sunny day with great photo opportunities.
Yes, so many!
Love those bluu sky days, rul nice
Thanks bos.
