treewhitelock - What's the address, date and time for the meet at Five Guys? Can you get GPS coord's for the tree? It'd be great to view the climb in Google-Sat/Map and to let next of kin know where to collect the remains.

About what time are we meeting? I've got a solid 2 hour drive from where I'm at. Maybe I can get familytree to come if he doesn't have work that weekend.
 
sorry Jack I dont have the numbers to view the th tree but the meeting spot is for Five Guys is 1157 Annapolis rd Odenton,Md. Lets meet there at 11:00. Again bring your backpacks or something with wheels it is a mile hike to the tree!!
 
I'll be there , if I can swing it. What species tree?

"Patapsco Valley State Park is Maryland's oldest, dating from the creation of the Patapsco Forest Preserve in 1907 with a donation of 43 acres by John Glenn. At that time, much of this valley known as "the river of history" had been denuded of trees in support of agriculture and various industries over the years. With additional donations and purchases over the years, the park now encompasses about 15,000 acres and well-established second-growth forests."

'The area actually didn't become a state park until 1937, but in 1907 it was designated a Forest Preserve. This implies to me that the 43 acres donated at that time were forested - I am not sure how old the trees were at that time, whether they were primary forest or second growth, but that was 100 years ago. If sections of this original tract were not harvested since 1907 (maybe they were), there may be a patch of old growth or some pretty mature second growth by now.'
-(found on the ENTs site)
 
We going to change the time to meet at 5 guys to 10 a.m. to give enough time for setup and a lil hike into the woods. A very large Poplar has been chosen. This is a very rare tree to climb and I cant wait to see some faces when this thing is seen.
 
Looks like the temperature will reach 38* with mild winds of 5 to 10 mph from the Southwest; not a bad day for a climb.
 
Heat wave ... GREAT! Did a pruning climb yesterday out of my backpack to see if I forgot anything ... good-to-go. See ya Sat at 10.
 
Not going to make it tomorrow. I have to tighten my belt for a bit. I'll be on the look out for the next one. I just don't want you waiting around for me. Have fun!
 
Good climb, Tom - truly awesome tree!!! Thanks for setting it up. Really good to meet everyone. Had I known the tree was that high, I'd have brought a different system. AND most important, it would have been a good excuse to buy a longer rope. But, everything worked out great.

Thanks again,
Jack

ps - I saw some pix being taken ... it would be good to see some of them.
 
No problem Jack. I want to thank everyone for coming out today it was a great day and an awesome tree. I will try to figure how to post pics to share with everyone.
