Gone Hiking 2022 July Edition: Life Finds A Way

In the location of our hike, I was surprised to find trees literally growing out of a rock.  Even in the most difficult of conditions, life continues to find a way.

    1. Good point Jess! I had not thought of that, but I guess the game really does reflect Nature.

  4. I've told this story many times in the past on my blog but on one hike, I found a tomato plant growing from a crack in a rock with one single ripe tomato growing on it, in December. It was in a sheltered southern exposure cliff face. A tomato never tasted so good.

    1. Ed, an old acquaintance that worked at water reclamation facility told me that tomato and corn are some of the most resilient seeds and outside of the plant there would always be a lot of each that survived the digestive system and processing.

      I wonder how that tomato got there? A lone hiker with a lunch?
