About 6 miles from that fallen log in the image of my last reply, was the previous image I posted where my son was standing under the divided trunk. And about 100 feet from that divided trunk tree, is the largest Sitka spruce in the USA, which you may have seen on my images page....

See first image with deck protecting root zone.

And 200 feet from it, a substantial hemlock, our son and friend hugging - see 2nd image...
