Will,
Bob, John, Scott,
After everyone left on Sunday after the rendezvous, I took the
time to
measure those planted blue spruce you directed me to. Also, I'll
list
some other nice trees I came across in various sections of the
park
while doing deer density studies this week. I found a few more
fat
white oaks within the Fire Tower Road loop, and a couple of
dandy cukes
in the Cook Trail Old Growth Area. Here's the latest catch:

The two new cukes' in the 120' class were quite a surprise. I've
walked
past both "umpteen" times but never bothered to
measure them.
Will, Bob,
Please let me know where these spruce rate with other stands in
the east.
