@mbleft I am so envious. They are quite something to see. I love that you read about them as a kid and they made a lasting impression. Will you email about your experience there, either here or as a D? I'd love to hear from you.

These trees will be here when we are a faded memory.

@mbleft Thanks for the comment.

I hope you're right, but they do live in a very fragile environment. And some in Colorado have been threatened by an invasive fungus.

@davidlicata Thank you David, for the video. I'm gonna be out there in a couple of weeks and see em in person. I read a book about em when I was a kid and it's been stuck in my head ever since.

yest another way the yanks attempt to change history! with there jew friends.

This tree is dead so offically not living so it cannot be the oldest tree..Perhaps the oldest bark.

And of course named after a jew!

@Dajida And especially American scientists...

@Dajida Yeah, that's sad, sad story. Imagine the guilt and horror he felt when he realized he killed the tree...

Thanks for commenting. Hope to see you around these parts again. Or these parts:

@Dajida And probably most filmmakers, too.
