I'm guessing it is about the middle of this pic. Maybe those trees just to the south of the bend in Sedgewick (where Lark meets Sedgwick). I was hoping it would really stand out, but not that I can tell. Maybe we'll see a little hole there when they retake the pic in a few years :greenchainsaw:

southeast pennsylvania is littered with ENORMOUS tulip poplars. Actually most of the biggest tulip poplarsa in the east are found there.

I cut some 3 to 4'' tulip poplars in Natural bridge VA last winter. Also some very nice white pine, ash and oak, but the poplars where the biggest. They where out on a small peninsula that the creek that carved the bridge surrounded.
It is somthing to think that President JW plus many more historical moguls surely saw thoes old trees upon visiting!!!

Piss.....good old dehydrated piss is what cottonwood smells like

Not to be confused with piss oak (aka scarlet) , which smells like cat pee.

Appalachian Red Oak smells like vomit when cut...

Dead, dry Alpine fir - (Abies lasiocarpa) also smells like cat piss. Nasty stuff

Alpine Fir - Stinky

The alpine fir trees when burned in a fire are really bad... I agree. Worst smelling wood I have been around, in the west, east, and south.

When my dad was logging in the winter (and they would be in high elevation spruce - balsam stands) he would drag in whatever dead snags for firewood if we we're low - usually in March. Man that stuff stunk....bone dry...but stink to high heaven!
