Survival,
Yep, you guessed the second hollow tree. The first tree is at Firebird Falls by Eklutna.
The pictures really don't do justice to the moss. We took some pics of the trees on Green Island in PWS this summer, I'll have to dig them up. It's another incredibly mossy area.

Survival,
In the supertopo tradition of going o/t, do you know Brian Horner? He taught airmen evasiona and survival for awhile, then started his school Learn to Return. I took a few classes from him ~10 years ago.

Paul,
Yes. I was an Air Force instructor also.
Taught overseas for a few years, and the was the number two at LTR for 9 years. I left in 1999.
It didn't end well......

Sorry to hear that, I could see someone with such a personality as being tough to work with. As I recall I took the underwater escape training course in 99, maybe July?
