Got to tune up the old Gingko at Blithewold. This tree was used for the work climb during The New England Chapter’s 2012 Comp. It’s still standing strong despite a blow that knocked out a large 12” diameter leader and a couple 4” diameter branches. There’s a really interesting gall at the base. Looks like a pineapple.
Fo sho! I aim to be grateful for every day,
Thanks for sharing the link!
That’s so cool. I had seen a similar tracked crane a guy in Philly (I think?) was using for specialty construction work. He’d put the thing in crazy locations including indoors on catwalks. It’s smaller than the one posted here and I didn’t think they even had ones available like this one.
They are and they aren’t available. I lucked out by taking a chance with this purchase prior to COVID. It was a demo unit, and the only one the dealer had in stock. They can take a deposit, but it would be quite a wait to get one shipped.
Nothing that isn’t really corny at this point. Maybe while I’m sleeping tonight it will come to me.
