National Geographic Excitement

I got so excited when I picked up our mail and Sarah had received the latest National Geographic, which features Humboldt County and the last remaining giants! It has a huge pull out of a giant redwood with 5 people standing in it all the way up to the top to get a true picture of the size. I am so proud of where I'm from and can't wait to show it to my students. I got shivers when I read again about Headwaters and the epic logger/hippie battles. My dad took me to one of those protests when I was in third grade. I remember being angry that I had to miss school (what a nerd, huh?) and then my teacher asked me to share about the experience the next day in class and I realized how cool it was.
