Bob, I thought it was a Bur Oak, one of the two along side of the trail.

The attached photo is of the three ladies next to a huge Shumard oak (we think). And while we were there, by gum, the tree blessed the ladies and declared them, henceforth, to be known as the Beall Woods Bells. Now, I thought that was might nice of the tree. Can't recall of a similar blessing. Also, Beth got her well-earned tree today- probably the tallest in all Beall Woods. It is the Beth Koebel Tuliptree and its measures a surprising 141.5 feet in height and is 11.3 feet around, if my memory serves me correctly. A full report on Beall Woods and on Pioneer Mothers Natural Area is forthcoming. As of now, a good night's sleep is needed by old Bob. Good night all.
