: Umm, Chip, I think you should leave the chainsaw at home. :(

Good thinking Shawn. Unfortunately it's the Death Penalty in Washington State :D No, but that would be a big chain saw. It looks like the circumference is 63' according to this link http://www.americanforests.org/resources/bigtrees/top_25.php The fifth largest (known) tree in the US. My math must be wrong:

2*pi*r = Circumference
2*3.14*r = 63
6.28*r = 63
r = 10

that would be about 20' in diameter? It's hard to imagine. Anyway, you can bet I'll get some awesome pictures of that Granddaddy to bring back. Hey Shawn, why don't you come down out of the mountains and join us?
