Tallest pines on earth?

Ponderosa may be the tallest pines now

Pretty cool article. Frank Callahan is an interesting fellow, he was going to get a permit to have me use Jerry's saw to fall a huge tree a few years back so he could count the rings "in the name of science", then in the article he calls us the cancer on the planet. Might need to go find those trees one of these days. Sounds like they are near bear camp....

Awesome .... I see some really tall ones in the park areas.

canadiantreeman · Jan 23, 2011

Cool. It'd be neat to see 'em someday.

sotc · Jan 23, 2011

Be even cooler to climb em :/:

CurSedVoyce · Jan 23, 2011

I wonder if Greg has more pics of that one champion he climbed a while back.
Sure would like to see those...
WhereTH is Greg anyway (Klimbinfool)??

I think you should find it Willie and we'll quietly/gingerly climb it.

Treepreacher51 · Jan 23, 2011

I talked to him a couple a days ago. Busy busy guy.

If Willie finds that tree.... Paul needs to get out here with a Wraptor again

Good to know he is doing ok Jesse, thanks.

Hmmm....Zipfest location???

A 150' high zipline would be pretty much the ultimate event! At least until we think of something better. :/:

CurSedVoyce · Jan 23, 2011

150" ?? I can almost do that in the back yard to the front if we shoot over the crick bed ... :lol:

SkwerI · Jan 23, 2011

Stephen, I figured 150' high for the starting point since we would probably be limited to 600' total length. If we can get a low enough angle we could probably start it higher.

CurSedVoyce · Jan 23, 2011

I have a pondo that the base is 30-40 foot higher than the front yard... And we would need at least 600 foot of rope

simplypete · Jan 23, 2011

I have 600' of 9/16 that does not see much use. I was thinking of coming to the next get together.

sotc · Jan 23, 2011

Haha, I got a wraptor, who needs Paul

Mario would poop if he came and saw a zipline in those trees :lol:

CurSedVoyce · Jan 23, 2011

No Chit eh? :lol:

Burnham · Jan 23, 2011

600 feet of Sterling 10mm HTP sitting here begging to be used, too.

Al Smith · Jan 24, 2011

Hes real Al...

If those be the pines I'm thinking of,, been there some 21 years ago. Though at the time only noted pine in the campground was a double top in the neighborhood of 260 something. I have a pic of it somewhere. Got to be close to 8' Dia. too. She's a beauty.

sotc · Jan 24, 2011

Where about Jerry?

Al Smith · Jan 24, 2011

Yep I know .I'll give him that, he's got to have a PHD in chit stirring though because he certainly has annoyed a bunch of people .

To the subject .I can't imagine a 200 foot plus tree when anything over 100 is a bigen in these parts .One guy who obviously was a trool elaborated about 200 foot oaks in Ohio but it was nothing but internet BS . He kinda left in a huff after a few of us called his bluff .
