That's sad. Do they know yet if it was a natural slide, or do they suspect...whatever?

I remember going to see the Old Man when I was a youngster. About 8 0r 9. It was a real big deal especially for my grandparents who had never been out of the state . To bad.

Frank,
No your tree story does'nt sound stupid. I had a few oaks I had to take because of a pasture coming in. I counted (quickly) over 170 rings on one. Could have been upwards of 200. I sat for a while and just wondered what this tree might have been through...... made me sad to think how quickly the years go by...... and all from an acorn seed somewhere.......
incredible... beautiful...

Just remember that the mighty oak is just an acorn that stood his ground!
