#PandoOrBust

After hearing about Pando, the Quaking Aspen tree that is the LARGEST, LIVING, SINGLE ORGANISM on the planet, it has been a life goal to go see him. HOWEVER, i thought he was in another country and i would never get to meet him...

BUT guess what!? He lives in Utah, and that meant I could make a trip to go see him. And the best time to see him, is when he is going into fall colors. So made trip plans to see him this year as a 30 year birthday present to myself... 6 months later. xD

This trip... had so much try to stop me from seeing Pando. 1) friend had to drop out of the trip so i would have to see him by myself, 2) my car's steering pump was leaking for the last two-three weeks and was already being a pain about being done on time for my trip (literally got it the day before my trip), 3) the government shutdown, and got a scare that the national forest might be closed on my arrival (Dx), 4) the weather had a storm coming in and there would be snow falling in his area (and i am a desert dweller who doesnt have snow tires or chains and dont know how to drive in snow) on the second day of my trip and 5) I started feeling sick about 3/4 of the way through my trip to go to my hotel and see him in the same day.

Literally, the universe was trying to stop me from seeing Pando. But i got to see him, i got to hug him and feel like I made a great pilgrimage. The car made it (the trooper 4 banger made it up a mountain!)! And i got to have my life goal come true.

The night before my trip, the new motto was Pando or Bust (thanks to my friend who couldn't make it). Because i put in the time to go to him and wouldnt let anything stop me. xD (probably should have, but PANDO!!!)

Don't give up on your dreams! Enjoy some pics of Pando!

they probably cant love me back in a human or even mammalian sense, but my goldfish with their smooth pea-sized brain have learned to trust that i will make them better when they are sick. i feel like crying about this often

Maybe Princess the tarantula never had anything resembling what we as humans know as emotions, but she still came out of her burrow and up to the glass when we’d talk to her and used to stare at the drawing I’d tape to her terrarium. Maybe she couldn’t even comprehend what we were, but she knew we were there to take care of her. And even if she never showed that sort of curiosity or trust we’d still love her.

[gay-jesus-probably]

Idk if Munchie the praying mantis felt love for me, but I do know he trusted me enough to climb onto my hand when offered and was comfortable with allowing me to carry him places despite me being absolutely massive in comparison to him. So that's close enough in my book.

the procrastinator’s mind will invent distractions you’ve never conceived of in order to avoid tasks even a dog could do.
