Letchworth SP east side; Bizarre White Pine
  Letchworth SP east side; Bizarre White Pine Steve Touloweiki
March 7, 2009

I had two things to share:

-I posted two photos of a really strange White Pine I encountered in
Letchworth SP, NY.  It had about 5 live and 2 dead trunks growing out
of one large one.  Anyone seen one like this before?

-I've read posts on ENTS about Letchworth SP old-growth on the west
side.  Has anyone explored the east side of the park?  There seem to
be many side gullies, off the main trail (Letchworth Trail/FLT),
draining into the main gorge that harbor fairly tall white pines and
hemlocks.    I didn't know if anyone has explored these areas yet.
The gorge is 20-something miles long, and the east side receives only
a fraction of the tourist pressure as the west.
