Re: No more exporing Lumpkin with Dunkin for Pumpkins.
Michael, I was afraid this might be the case. I remember watching that fire blow up in early September and fearing the worst. The South Fork was the worst-hit location in the fire's perimeter; hopefully the area of Hartman Bar and Lumpkin Ridge just to the north was slightly less devastated. I may h...

Re: New World Record For White Fir
Michael, I cannot seem to locate the post, but when doing research, I came across an entry for an 80m white fir that you and Duncan had found. There's a chance I screwed something up somewhere. I have a feeling it may have been posted for a possible maximum and not an actual measurement. Either way...

Re: More "Super Sugars" - Tall Incense Cedar and White Fir
Once again, thank you for inviting me along! I'm confident that there's plenty more to explore yet in that area; I'm working on the LiDAR analysis for it today. Also, I'm still somewhat ashamed you and John outpaced me. Clearly I need to focus more on my cardio; I'm way younger than y'all and was st...

Re: Another VERY tall sugar pine to report
Michael, Duncan, The tallest sugar I've seen listed is 273.8' in the Sierra Nevadas and #2 at 269', in Yosemite. I assume reports of a 273.7' and a 273.8' are of the same Sierra Nevada tree. I assume this VERY rall sugar is #3 on the list. Also, in what National Forest or Park is this sugar living?...

Re: Another VERY tall sugar pine to report
Addendum for the tallest one: the CBH I recorded for it was 23'0", so its' DBH should be 7.3', not 6.3'.
All told, today was a very productive day. Given the slope of that hill, I'm not looking forward into going back there again though, but it will be well worth it.

Re: Introducing - Redonkulous
Genuinely one of the largest trees I've seen in a long time. I look forward to our future expeditions.

Re: Rare 260' Class Ponderosa Pine Measured in Northern Sierra
God, it's really been almost a year since this trip? My, how time flies. Overall this was a fruitful trip that gave us some good measurements for some tall trees, and got us into an area that Michael and I got to earlier in 2018 in what we've dubbed "The bushwhack from hell". The car accident on the...

Re: Babbitt Peak - Pinus washoenisis
Michael,
The characteristics you stated match the description of Pinus washoenisis perfectly.
Next time you come by, I'll show you a comparison of a pure Jeffrey, a pure Ponderosa and a Washoe. You'll find some interesting differences and similarities.

Re: Babbitt Peak - Pinus washoenisis
Larry, The reason that almost no one has heard about Washoe Pine is because it is sometimes classified as a species of its' own, and other sources classify it as a subspecies of Ponderosa Pine. If you are ever in the Sierra north of Lake Tahoe, feel free to drop by. I'd be delighted to hunt trees wi...

Babbitt Peak - Pinus washoenisis
NTS, On Saturday, July 23rd, I went on a trip from Calpine to Babbitt Peak, a mountain 8,760 feet in elevation. The peak is home to the Babbitt Peak Research Natural Area, designated as such for its' pure stands of the rare, taxonomically-disputed Washoe Pine ( Pinus washoensis ). The pines grow bot...
