After only about 30 minutes of waiting in traffic we arrive. - IMG 0146
Our final haul: 7 chairs, an end table, and a bookcase. - IMG 0147
Can it fit? Leslie had her doubts, but she fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The first is never get involved in a land war in Asia. The second, and only slightly less well-known, is this: never underestimate the power of the hatch. - IMG 0148
Voila! - IMG 0149
The dining chairs, $20 each. - IMG 0150
The living room with Bryan's stuff moved in. This includes the couch, piano, guitar, TV, electronics, HUGE speakers (soon to be repainted). The room doesn't look quite as big now, but it's much more homey. - IMG 0151
More living room. - IMG 0152
And again, from the patio. - IMG 0153
The patio, featuring our Ikea end table and $10 (!) arm chairs. - IMG 0154
The kitchen. Not it's cleanest; we just entertained. - IMG 0155
Hallway, and a bit of my bookshelf. - IMG 0156
The reading nook in the bedroom, featuring the inexplicably large and comfy green chair, former star in Bryan's Speedway Apartment. - IMG 0157
The bed. Really it's nicer than this picture, the flash's light is not very flattering. - 101 0160
You know what never gets old (for me)? Taking pictures looking up at trees. Expect a lot here. - 101 0162
I tried putting my nalgene in front for scale, but it didn't look quite right. So trust me, this was a big tree. - 101 0163
Many of the biggest trees (like this one) had been gutted by fire at some point in their history. So while they were still healthy and thriving (takes more than a fire to kill a 2,000-year-old tree), you could could crawl inside them and stand it the middle of the trunk. - 101 0165
More: looking up a trees. Whee! - 101 0166
There were a surprising number of stands where 6 or 7 giant trees grew right next to each other. Here, Bryan and Jeff stand between several. - 101 0167
Bryan decides to walk quietly. Like Indian brave. - 101 0168
More reasonably sized trees. - 101 0169
I do my level best to hug a tree. - 101 0170
Bryan and Jeff, framed by a fallen tree whose insides had rotted out. - 101 0172
Jeff crawls through the inside of said tree. - 101 0173
