    Now I never heard that.I assumed it was planted or you'd think there would be more of them.It is in a wild location but how would it get there with no cypress within many miles? I don't know if the nuts are eaten by birds? I doubt those nuts could survive a salt water journey up from Delmarva.

    Now I have to measure those trees at Fries Mill.They seem close to that big.I also know where two monstrous oaks are that I haven't measured yet.One on an island in a swamp that looks like possibly someone may have lived on long ago.Both are white oaks

    Now thats more like it though I would go as far to say that we shouldn't even need a sign for that.Every one knows rocks are slippery and water can drown you or at least people old enough to read the signs do.Then again we live in a world where people have to be told not to eat Tide Pods.
