Description: The postcard describes the park, which is named after the first Ginkgo log found in the area. Fossil Ginkgo leaves have been discovered all over the world, except in Antarctica, but the fossil tree trunks are only found in this specific area. The Ginkgoes were one of the major tree types during the age of the dinosaurs, around 130 million years ago. Over time, they were gradually replaced by modern types of trees, and now only one species remains. The ancient Buddhist Priests of China and Japan considered the Ginkgo tree to be semi-sacred and preserved it in their temple gardens. If they had not done so, the Ginkgo tree would now be extinct as it no longer grows in forests. However, many Ginkgo trees have been imported and are now growing in the United States. The first Ginkgo log was found in the Vantage Washington Area of the Columbia River. This log is currently located in the Ginkgo Petrified Forest Museum Building. The postcard also includes a colorful image of the Ginkgo tree. It is produced by D. L. Dilley and published by Smith-Western Co. The address section of the postcard is left blank for the sender to fill in. In summary, the postcard highlights the significance of the Ginkgo tree and its preservation by ancient Buddhist Priests. It mentions the discovery of the first Ginkgo log in the Vantage Washington Area and its current location in the Ginkgo Petrified Forest Museum Building. The postcard also mentions the importation of Ginkgo trees to the United States and includes a colorful image of the tree.
