Chef Shari and the Spooky Tree People

One night, we camped out a really nice state park. I have no idea what it is called. The forest was beautiful.

Someone had tied little stuff people to the trees.

At first it seemed rather spooky. Apparently, they were a project designed to ask people to save the forest. So, not so spooky ... ok, still a little spooky.

As you can imagine, a lot of people want to log the old growth forests in Tasmania and a lot of people want to save them. A few weeks before we arrived, thousands protested construction of a pulp mill in Tasmania. So, while the tree people were spooky, we understood their cause.

To offset the spookiness ... or perhaps to make it more spooky. Chef Shari conducted a dinner experiment.

And, when we left, we left a gift for the tree people.
