Index of Subjects I notice the references below to the large hemlocks in the Berwick campgrounds. I have been wondering if they were still there. Fifty years ago I heard them speak often of the big pines in the campground. One Sunday I dropped in for the church service being held there, and was amazed to find that the trees were all hemlocks - the largest hemlock that I have ever seen. With another fifty years growth they must now be huge.
