MTSF:  Todd Mountain   dbhg-@comcast.net   Nov 25, 2004 19:09 PST  Ed:     Today I went to MTSF to visit and mediate at my dear wife's memorial and to think about the passing of Colby and what he meant to us. I also measured trees.     I remeasured the John Knuerr oak on Todd Mountain. Taking a page from Will's journal, I climbed high on the ridge to get a complete view of the tree's broad crown. The result was most satisfying, well worth the scramble. I then remeasured the Frank Decontie tree and found a new top that I had hit on occasion, but didn't know what I was hitting. That effort also paid off. The results follow: Species               Name                         Height   Girth    Comments N. red oak          John Knuerr oak          133.4    9.4        New red oak height rec for NE White pine          Frank Decontie             159.6    10.1      Tallest in Algonquin grove White pine         Thanksgiving surprise     151.5      6.9      # 71       The Rucker index for MTSF goes to 135.15. How sweet it was. Bob   Home
