Pat Riot Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 That's too bad. Walking through that tree used to be on my so-called "bucket list". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 My wife and I walked through that tree about 15 years ago. Doesn't seem that long but that was B.K.(before kids) so it must have been. We were walking along behind another family, who kept dropping stuff, like candy wrappers, film wrappers, and other such litter. We just kept collecting it up, and when we got to the end of the trail we gave it back to them, with a stern lecture of how we "don't do that here". The kids had to translate for the parents.

Pat Riot Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I hope they use the wood and not just let it rot, or become fire tinder. You can bet they will leave it right where it is...probably with a plastic plaque and display telling how that tree would still be alive if it wasn't violated by ignorant people of an earlier time when America wasn't "enlightened". You see, it is not a fire danger because there is a lesson to be learned. But you can bet there will be scads of Sierra Club members with little commemorative slivers of it but no one else dare not touch that tree under penalty of law. Mark my words.

Buffalo Creek Law Dog Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Oh No! First the "Old Man In The Mountain" in New Hampshire and now this........... And the top of Chimney Rock on the Oregon Trail. What we see today is a shortened version than what the pioneers saw on their trek to CA and OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Will the tree huggers hold a wake or will they just blame Bush (or Trump, now) for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Unfortunately, that great tree started dying the day the cut was made thru it. It's been slowly rotting from the inside out ever since. That's why it shattered when it fell. It should lay on the forrest floor and be allowed to return to the earth.
