Bows at Bone Creek
BrianS:
Took this picture of a huge hollow oak tree that overlooks Bone creek. A little spooky sitting inside it but I could not resist.
Outbackbob48:
Brian, ya need to measure that one for county or state record tree or maybe in the top ten ? Bob
BrianS:
Bob,
I would guess it has been there for over 200 years (maybe longer). Can you imagine a time when trees that large were common? This picture might be of interest to you. It is not at Bone Creek, it is a trail marker tree that is still alive in my woods on Poverty Hill. I think it is pretty old.
Take care,
brian

Went to a little demo on measuring trees." Big Trees of Crawford Co". They measured the circumference at 4 1/2 ' then they measure height and size of crown an give so numbers for each, and then award large tree for county and state, pretty interesting and your trail marker is very unique and I bet pretty old, A lot of these old giants are found in cemetery's or small towns.

Love that picture,thanks I have a large Cotton wood about tree about that size that I have got in to get out of the rain when I was a kid 50+ years ago, sets right on the side of one of our trails ,don't know how old it is but it was huge when I was a kid. :)
