Hell no. I don't know about up you way but down this end of Bucks it is BLOWING outside. I'd just be afraid of having a tree fall on me!

It's actually REALLY easy to find with a little bit of research and Maps.Live.com

Hell the link I found for it had a map on the page

I think I still have silt coming out of my ears! And it is nice to see a healthy north eastern oak tree too. Sage brush, silt, dust, rocks.. I had my fill for a year!

smithy1 · 09-07-2008, 06:48 AM

So I figure that on this beautiful sunday morning there has got to be at least a couple of inmates in route to the big tree...

Bluetickk · 09-07-2008, 09:22 AM

This is good stuff

Y2GREY · 09-07-2008, 10:37 AM

Still up for grabs, I ran out of time persuing the tag this morning and had to turn back home! It's a beautiful day to chase this one!!

smithy1 · 09-08-2008, 06:48 AM

A perfect sunday passes us by and no ADVer's showed up at the tree...

I guess I could ad a small hint: another important Revolutionary War General was said to have picnicked under this tree.

Y2GREY · 09-08-2008, 06:53 AM

No More Hints!! Just More Time (lol)
and besides, any idea how tough it would have been to get a picture there on a Sunday? Sorry for the hint (LOL)

Please note that I had to wait till it was raining in order to duplicate Smithy1's photo!

Some of the historic detail:
"This old oak was a sapling when Columbus discovered the Americas and already a full grown adult when Jamestown was settled in 1607. Famous English evangelists James Davenport and George Whitefield preached to over 3,000 people while standing under its branches in 1740. By the time of the Revolutionary War the oak was already nearly 400 years old and George Washington was said to have picnicked in its shade along with Lafayette and other officers.
In the 1930's in an effort to save it, a large cavity inside the tree was filled with 3 tons of concrete and the local water company installed 260 feet of steel rods and 1,500 feet of steel cables to support the weight of the tree's branches. It is reported to be one of the oldest white oak trees in the Western Hemisphere and its 156 foot spread is the widest of any tree in New Jersey.

The tree is currently on the property of The Basking Ridge Presbyterian Church, which was built in 1829."

And much thanks to Robert Kasper for pointing me in the right direction!

Now, I have to get to the next spot....

And NO file photos Doc

You definitely need to have a time stamp on ALL of you photos.
