The more the merrier. Lets see what Chris's schedule is like and then mine and we'll plan from there. Please extend the invitation to Jessica as well, Guy.

It will not take very long to hike to the location. knee highs would be best but not required.

Lets see what Chris's schedule is like

Any Sunday is fine with me, the next few Saturdays will be hard for me due to the shotgun and black powder deer seasons.

this is an open invitation for anyone who wants to come see "The Mutha".
Knee highs are probably best but it is do-able in hiking boots.

[Teegate]

keep me posted too....... kind of expanding my interests a bit...

Snakeman,

If you come I would be interested in knowing why you are expanding your interests and what direction you are going. To me your decision can only be a good thing.

I'll pass on this one. I'm going down to Stafford Forge. Have a good time.

PS: don't let Jeff drag you through the briars. Several of us got bloodied up but we had a great time. He knows a way that has no briars, but he was getting some secret pleasure watching us bleed.

Jeff and all,

Is this the other tree in question?

Thats the one I'm thinking of. I don't see how that can be 150 years older than the Mutha, even with the water where it is. By the way, see if the bore hole closed up already. I'll bet it has.

All right. I'll resist my sadistic urges on this trip.

As a bit of a back story...Bob had put me in touch with George Zimmerman, one of the authors on the link Guy provided. I took him back there. He took a bore sample. He believed, as I recall, that the two were very close in age but the real surprise is that the Mutha is still alive and growing. The one in the article has been dead for some time.

i'll check on that bore sample spot Bob.

I'm nursing a pretty bad cold today so I'm going to try to hit the hay early. See you guys (and girl) at 9:30 tomorrow.
