: When you saw it, did you see "tree" or "boat"?

I see an ARK! The trunk of that Granddaddy is bigger than the room I'm sitting in now... I have some old growth WRC in my current boat but I don't think it's this old

Thanks Rick, it's a real thrill to see these and I highly recommend a trip to the Pacific Northwest and Northern California to check them out; it's a lot of fun. They are some of the oldest living organisms on earth. Here are some others: This one is actually three trunks growing together but it's got a more characteristic look than the one below http://www.chipsandresky.com/OtherChip/images/big_cedar2.jpg and this is a Sitka Spruce http://www.chipsandresky.com/OtherChip/images/fallen_spruce.jpg

I can go on for hours about the rainforest out here in Washington State. I love it and try to head out to it at least once a year.
