good point!
Yes it sure is perplexing. Apparently the cutters really respected these giants and even stood at attention when one went down... but I guess it's like everywhere - they had families and needed their jobs. It's the profit mongers that usually feel nothing.
oh my gosh that's amazing! ya know, how do you look at something so magnificent at be like "yeeep, let's chop it down."
Nice trees Joshua. There's a cousin (E.regnans) not far from here which was originally surveyed to be 526 feet before lightning hit it. It's now only 495. I think the loggers couldn't get into it fortunately.
