This channel documents our explorations of El Yunque National Forest (30,000 acres of rugged terrain) in Puerto Rico (EYNF) ,also known as El Yunque rain forest. We also include many other explorations such as Mona Island, beaches of Puerto Rico and more. When digital photography started i decided to document this wonderful forest - about 2013. Eventually after about 10K photos of the main deep forest trail and explorations Hurricane Maria came in 9/20/2017. An historic event for PR -140MPH winds for the entire island for 12 hours. The island electrical grid and communications where on the ground - and PR was in darkness from 4-8 months depending on where you live. El Yunque forest was decimated - the forest canopy destroyed and about 10-20% of the trees broken, fallen or uprooted. But miraculously the forest had a inbreed system to recover from hurricanes - it has for thousands of them over millions of years.
