HJAEF is an acronym that can stand for many things. Officially it is the name of the old growth forest we stayed in, the Horace Justin Andrews Experimental Forest. But unofficially to us westies, HJAEF stands for:

Hey there’s a bunch of cool trees

Jumping for joy there’s no yellow jackets here

And Lookout Creek is an amazing swim spot

Excellent moss

For real this is goated
