Bay Trees

This trail is called the Matt Davis Extension, though my friend, Peter Eisenberg, used to call it the Matt Davis Distension. It starts at the Pan Toll Ranger Station, and runs to, what we call, The Knolls, a spot of great significance, though I will not divulge the reason. The picture shows Bay Laurel Trees, bowed by the weather, but still very much alive. The trademark of these amazing trees is, that new branches will grow from horizontal trunks, even when these appear to be dead. The new branches grow straight up, seeking the sunlight. You will notice this when you take a closer look at my picture.
