This was a bit cryptic. Robert lives somewhere near Lake Oswego,
high on a hill--I don't know exactly where. Lake Oswego is both a
township or city and a lake.
Lake Oswego is a comparatively posh suburb south of Portland.

Ah the dangers of the word "this." I was trying to say that my own
post had been cryptic--the business about "friends in low places."
Thank you for the elaboration.
What an odd place for such an old Sequoia to be. I had thought we
are north of their natural range and wikipedia seems to confirm this,
"The northern boundary of its range is marked by two groves on the
Chetco River on the western fringe of the Klamath Mountains, 25 km
(15 miles) north of the California-Oregon border."
