350 year old Oak tree on Mac's farm

Huge! Approximately 10 Feet in diameter! Lots of stinging nettle around the base. I used to help in my friend Rich Nelson' s tree service in Denver. This would be indescribably difficult to cut down.

Evidently, this was a sacred spot for the local Indian tribes whose village used to be located on the site of Mac's farm house.

  1. This mighty oak predates the Revolution! Tree's beginning circa 1664. It appears to be about 60 feet high. Reminds of the tree in the movie Ernest scared stupid! Lol.
