Handing over the 090

It's almost inpenetrable in some places. This fact made Mill Creek watershed one of the last to be throughly explored. In just recent years a half dozen new champion trees have been discovered. Some even larger than the Stout tree.

There are some wonderful descriptions of the 'hikes' to discover those large trees in the book WILD TREES. Simply amazing.

Thanks for sharing the views Jerry!

In a remarkable move; Carl-LumberJack outbid everyone on the 090; then gave it back to Gerry to auction again!

Dang slimy TreeHousers keep screwing stuff up!

Pictures from Gerry's Journeys i've been working on. Part of a flexible menu system i've been building to.

This afternoon I flew over Mill Creek using Google Earth. Zoomed in there really close and could recognize landmarks such as the Mill Creek Bridge, Howland Hill Road, Stout Grove and the confluence of Smith River. There is quite a bit to explore even by laptop.

Kenny, Thank you so much for making that rotary.swf. It's really neat.

That is one brilliant piece of computing Kenny thanks mate!

i just found this thread! it was great to see jerry again and meet his wife. thanks a bunch for the chance to own the saw! cant wait to put it in some wood! thanks also to carl as with out him and his generous move, i think the saw would have become british property!

 

[Gerald_Beranek]

Here it is again, Willie!

More Tall Trees

Here's a list of taller trees from a post about 7 years ago.

Tall Trees

At the time, maps of the parks with the tree locations were posted on the Tall Trees website. I requested more info, but haven't heard back.

Re: More Tall Trees

That's an old list list, Mike, and chances are good you wont hear anything back from MT

My wife and I spent the weekend in Crescent City. We went there to meet Willie Gingg at Jedidiah Smith Redwoods, and to hand over the 090 that was auctioned at the Tree House. Here's a few pic's of some of the trees in Stout Grove where the offical passing on of the saw occured.

The Stout Tree, 24 ft. Dia.

Wow, we almost crossed paths !!

I was down there too.

You probably saw the tree in Stout grove that's behind me in my website header.

I went back through the Simpson Reed discovery trail this time - there's a couple of trees there as big as the stout grove trees, only they are much closer to Hy. 199. But I like both trails. Great weather, wasn't it !!

This visit, and camping at Harris Beach, provided about 6 minutes of video for my Harris Beach State Park web page so people can really see what the beach looks like.
