I don't blame you at all! I love the ferns too! The ones that don't die off in the winter (those you can see now) are about waist high. In the summer there are some that have runners underground that grow even taller in the summer along with some perennials and some really cute delicate-looking ones that grow close to the ground and are about the size of large dandelions. They're one of the things I like best here though they grow like weeds. I wish I could send you a truckload. I've seen what people pay for ferns that size. From where I live it's completely insane!

The road comes up adjacent to our property on the other side of the river. We park our cars there in a parking lot (also our land) and take a cablecar across the river. In the summer we have a crossing permit for vehicles that we can use for 2 weeks when the river is low enough and the salmon haven't yet started spawning. We use that time to haul anything large that doesn't fit on the cablecar.

We've had a satellite installation guy or 2 who (despite being warned) got all the way here then refused to cross in the cable car. It was very inconvenient and one company had to call a guy who was in a facility that is about 75 miles away to come and do the job.
