Tried to link up with Darian while visiting relatives in
Washington DC
area but it didn't happen.
I did get away from family duties long enough to get the
following
measurements from two locations.
Montgomery Co. Great Seneca Creek just south of Brink Rd.
I was told that the county champion sycamore was in this area.
Perhaps one of the following is it!
