Ed, Jenny,

Attached is a photo of Jenny's Doug fir. It is the only 140-foot fir that I measured in the Piedra River drainage.  It is a very healthy tree that should continue its upward growth. Its girth is 8.1 feet. It is a very healthy tree growing in a protected spot. Forest Service official Laura Stransky is in the photo for perspective. The Doug fir is mixed in with Colorado blue spruce up to about 130 feet. The upper Piedra River is known for its stands of blue spruce, but large ponderosas grow in the area along with Doug fir. The other image looks down river from a spot near Jenny's fir.
