A captivation with big trees inspired Howard Gaffin to celebrate the year of America’s bicentennial by hitchhiking cross-country to the Pacific Northwest. He had somehow pre-arranged lodging and employment at the esteemed John Flinks potato farm in Monteseno, Washington. After a season of spud farming and getting a feel for his surroundings, he eventually made my way north on Route 101, from Aberdeen through Humptulips to Lake Quinault in Olympic National Park.
