Met this gorgeous and very old tree yesterday. This cut was midway up the trunk -- it had many more rings down at the base. (A man who stopped to count estimated 125-150.) I'm always sad to see these beauties felled, regardless of reason, even though it's a known part of the natural long-term lifecycle. But I'm also touched to see how many people on the trail stop to acknowledge and honor the loss. 🌲💚
