I'm at Lake Quinault, in the mist and the moss and the goose poop. It's beautiful and atmospheric and inspiring, but I realized as I walked to the World's Largest Spruce that this was a disadvantage, since everything I'm working on is set in hot, dry places.
Getting to the Spruce, you walk through a forest of giant stumps--ghosts of the trees that weren't the World's Largest. I walked on a bridge over a little marsh with a huge wad of lichen shining pale and corpse-like beneath the water. Creepy as hell, but totally distracting. :-( Next year, I shall take this into consideration when deciding what to work on.

Hey! which one's you? I still haven't walked to the World's Biggest Spruce but I did go to the cemetery.

I was thinking that also! Everything I'm working on takes place in hot dry places too...all three books I have to choose from! HAHAHA! :D I'm glad I'm not the only one.

what about Deviltar Swale? I thought that was swampy? Or are you not there yet?

They don't get to the swamp until at least a third of the way through the book :(
