The Duplicative Forest
Remember that scene in the Matrix, when Neo is in the big white room with all the weapons flying by? Well, this is what it would look like if he had wanted trees instead of guns.

Deep in the forest
Driving west on I-84, after you have just passed the thousands of bunkers at the Umatilla Chemical Depot, you start to wonder if some of those chemicals have leaked into the air causing you to hallucinate. Because, the woods off of the highway are really starting to freak you out. They're all the same height and thickness and evenly spaced in all directions. The effect is compounded when blasting by at 75 mph. If you look for too long the strobe effect may induce seizures.
The Boardman Tree Farm operated by GreenWood Resources can be easily viewed from I-84. It is 5 miles west of the I-82 junction. However, for those willing to invest some time and effort, GreenWood Resources will fill requests for group tours.

There are several Tree farms like this in northern Pensacola, FL...they were owned by Champion paper co., although recently were bought out by the State of Florida and opened to the public. -

I remember driving by on the way to visit relatives in northern Idaho when I was younger. I thought it was part of Narnia and I begged my parents to stop and let me out. I was soundly rebuffed when they explained that the trees were grown that way to be perfect for paper products. It was a toilet paper forest.
