Re: No more exploring Lumpkin with Dunkin for Pumpkins.
Mark, It may be too late. Of course we should move away from using fossil fuels as quickly as possible and develop cleaner alternatives. But at what cost ? It should be noted that Fossil fuels are the still crux of civilization as we know it. The "Haber-Bosch" process to create ammonium nitrate from...

No more exploring Lumpkin with Dunkin for Pumpkins.
I am sad to report that the entire Lumpkin Ridge area has been completely NUKED by the North Complex Fire. I heard rumors it was bad from the locals and they were not kidding. Some notable trees most likely killed are Hartman's Bar Tree, Lumpkin Lunker, Lumpkin Pumpkin, Lumkpin Leviathan and others ...

Re: New World Record For White Fir
Michael, Duncan: Should not the proper name for the fir be Sierra White Fir (A. lowiana} . Regardless of name it is an impressive specimen. Yes. This is Sierra White fir but technically Abies concolor Var. lowiana. The subspecies is assumed because that is all there is in the Sierra Nevada. Same wi...

Re: New World Record For White Fir
Duncan, Thanks for the clarification. I did find a note for it being at Cherokee Creek. I went through thousands of posts, so I may have written it down out of context. I'm trying to keep up with your Western records with a few from the East. It isn't easy but I suspect I'll have one or two by Than...

Bob Thank you Bob. I owe this discovery to Duncan. The LiDAR point cloud of this tree, when viewed from...

New World Record For White Fir
Just got back measuring a few more LiDAR trees with Duncan. This time we got a world record white fir. Duncan found this after sifting through some previously searched LiDAR I was working on. For some reason I missed this one. Also in the area is an exceptional ponderosa pine. Species: White fir (Ab...

Re: More "Super Sugars" - Tall Incense Cedar and White Fir
Yesterday met up with Duncan Kennedy and John Montague to explore some nice montane forest on the western side of the Sierra Nevada. It was a grueling bushwhack as we tried to cover as much area as possible before getting dark. Results: White Fir dbh: ~5' height: 230' Incense Cedar dbh: 5.9' height...
