      While massive trees are the stars of old growth forest, lets not forget the richness of the understory... and the abundant tangles of hobblebush that necessitate tiring high-stepping.

          How much paper is wasted with junk mail?

          I can't believe they still send that crap.

          There must be some fool out there reading it, or else I would think they would stop.

              I like to send the pre-paid envelopes back to the sender with nothing inside. I've heard of some people sending garbage back to the sender attached to really big boxes, (hey, it's pre-paid) but I'm not that mean

                  I would think Pine Ochard near Wells would have some trees almost 250 years old. Some are close to eight feet in diameter.

                    I agree on the Pine Orchard

                      Cathedral Pines, Just north of Inlet? Haven't been there in years but remember being impressed. Really short walk, this video honors the site but doesn't do the trees justice;

                          I didn't see anyone mention the old growth stand in the Ferris Lake Wild Forest. That one is on my 2011 summer list to visit.

                            I always remembered a really huge pine on the short portage to Fawn Lake..Anybody know if that old boy is still standing?...It was a landmark & a coversation piece for years....used to go up the way alot but I haven't been there in quite awhile..

                                No "ring around the rosie"...just a few hippie tree-huggers...
