Maybe it's the tree Don marked on this map?

Yes that's the one.  Where the heck did you get that map?  I guess Don posted it somewhere.

Yeah, Don posted it a while back. I don't know how I remembered it.

 

Hey Don, is that the biggest tree you've seen in these parts?

It is the biggest tree I have seen so far in the district. I haven't measured it or even determined which species of tree it is yet, for the limbs are so far up the tree you can't see the needles.

It is found just west of Blister Creek a few hunderd feet above the 7010 road. There is a large 6-8 foot boulder on the lower side of the road that is covered in moss where you want to park. Across the road is an old spur road that will take up to the tree and beyond. I say beyond for once you have seen the big tree continue up the road to a house sized rock that is cracked in half allowing you to walk between the pieces, or climb up the log that allows you to get on top of the rock. It looks like it would be a nice place to camp.

Here are some more photos:

Here is one with Bob and the tree.

Here is one looking up the trunk.

This is the boulder you want to park by to locate the spur road that goes to the tree and beyond.
