monster oak climb

[Widow Shooter]

I found this 2 weeks ago, HUGE old oak, escaped the logging of the homesteaders 200 years ago, and escaped again about 16-20 years ago

warm day, me and Lou, huge tree.

75' maybe more with a canopy spread of almost as much.
Moss on the tops of the limbs, beauty old tree.

here are pics.

Limbs custom for limbwalking, but upper limbs made it hard to get out on some due to friction.

the rope wrench would have been fun to try in this tree!


nothing says sexy like a true-running VT baby...

That plate reminds how the display of food is really an art.....some avant-garde there.
What's the purpose of the ketchup stripes on the napkin?

You should see some of these live oaks and red oaks down here in the south. That is a dandie though
