You'd have been closer if you said Lousiana, and you *still* wouldn't be close.

Mon dieu... just because The Alamo doesn't have a basement doesn't mean this place doesn't.

Yes, Cooksie is talking about yours, q. You're right, Cooksie.

What's the historical significance of this tree?

 

[phinz]

That's Major Oak. It's where Robin Hood and his men slept.

You are just too darn smart!

I just took this picture today, before I even saw Cooksie's post. I find that pretty funny.

What is the name and significance of this tree?

 

[phinz]

Good heavens. Hasn't anybody heard of this tree?

 

[phinz]

Not even any guesses at this old girl?

 

[lifesaver]

That is really cool and yes it is very pretty.

The Angel Oak is a Southern live oak tree located in Angel Oak Park, on Johns Island, South Carolina. It may be the oldest tree east of the Mississippi River

The Angel Oak is property of and maintained by the City of Charleston, South Carolina. The tree could be as old as 1500 years but attempts to age the tree have failed. It stands 65 feet tall and the crown covers an area of 17,000 square feet. Its longest limb is 89 feet long.

Phinz got it. That's all I was really looking for. I guess I wasn't clear .

You are correct, Les. To stand in the presence of this old lady is to be in awe. I was completely blown away by it. I probably took 50 pictures. And to think, for years I drove past this tree at least a dozen times a year, if not more, on the way to and from Seabrook Island. I *will* be back.
