Huge dying chestnut

This may be the national champion american chestnut. Sadly, it is almost dead. It looks different from the 1993 photo I have of the champ, which is also in Cicero, same as this tree. It may be the same one. Anyhow, the champ was 19'7" in circ., 106 feet tall, and 101 feet wide, when last measured in '93. Another one, in Carson, has 6 less AFA points, as it is only 87 feet tall. But it is 109 feet wide and 20'7" in circ.

Thank you, but my favorite (besides the one of you and Miss Manitoba) is the one with the smoke still swirling after Rotax fired the Predator up at the dinner that I missed. Well, then there was the rodeo ride that Doug took on the bar!! That pic will be remembered!!

Bedtime,

gotta go kill some more trees manana....

Yeppers, it is.

i'm thinking of renting a big Canon, like Doug's, for the Int'l Tree Climbing Champ'ships, this weekend in Seattle. But the G2 isnt bad, and i'm learning how to use it, plus use a full size flash on it. It's tough to shoot in shadowed tree canopies, so a flash should help. And it does video, of barely saleable quality. Want to burn a CD for each competitor that wants to buy one.

Hi Roger, did you ever try any square chain yet? Are you still cutting summerwood?

Let's just say a prayer for him in advance and try to dissuade others from trying this unless they are intimately familiar with where not to use it . Russ
Lol Russ, I hope Jim is still alive and kickin'. Jim?

"stump jumping" also known as "table top" is not a safe practice. open face-bore cutting not only gives you complete controll of the fell but will also hold the stem in place for loping and limbing. marty

Marty, you may have something here, but you'll be all day in the bush with not much shown for your effort.

[Gypo Logger]

Hi Roger, I liked Ginger too, but alas, I don't have her username. Art really loved her as can be seen. Should I go back to my blow up doll?

Whatever floats your boat I guess. If the majority likes it, then fine. If not, then no. (this doesn't work on all situations) I think it's annoying but I am not the one who makes the site what it is. You guys do. It seems the response is pretty overwhelming that I loose this one.

Some of these "old" threads are new to those of us that joined after their heyday. The words are just as fresh as they were when they were first written.

Thanks for hosting a wonderfully useful resource here.
