" There' s a hurricane?" the sole remaining Memorial Park tree-sitter joked in the rain Tuesday morning, still perched atop a 110-foot tall pine tree.
" Trust," as he refers to himself, is sticking it out through Hurricane Claudette, but he' s the only one. His companion, " Bear" , came down this morning.
" We knew it was going to get rough," Trust said. " So we decided that only the most experienced person stay up here."
Trust has survived wet and stormy weather for the past week, and he plans to stay there for as long as it takes to get his message delivered: Protect California' s ancient redwoods.
He came to Houston from Humboldt County in California, and has been on the perch since July 5.
The protesters brought their demonstration to Houston because it is the home of Maxxam Inc., the owner of Pacific Lumber.
" This is a good test to show Maxxam that we' re not going to be scared away by the storm," Trust said.

[>:]What a moron! I' m all for just continuing logging operations with the sitters still in the trees. If they don' t climb down before you fall the one they' re in, Oh Well!

What a freaking idiot! I don' t like to wish bad things on anyone but I' m not sure I would be upset if the wind broke that pine top off with ol " Trust" in it.
