Tree Mail



In Redstone, Colorado, beyond the coke ovens, up Coal Creek and overlooking Mr. Osgood‘s mansion you can find these. Along the trails and scattered among the bear clawed aspen are messages or maybe just mountain graffiti. There were a lot of them, some made unreadable by the healing of the trees. Some were legible and even some others, like the second picture, that appears to be a love letter. Who wrote them? Explorers, loggers, hunters, who knows? The trees sure aren’t telling. These picture are from a 1992 hunting trip.
