Kirk, Kirk, No I do not recall that particular sycamore on Thompson either. I have been to the island twice, but certainly have not seen all of the tree there. Sorry I could not make it to the clean-up Saturday.

I know Ed and Dale and those guys have been out on the wilderness islands and provided trip reports in the past, but I can't remember if this particular tree was noted or not. Large otherwise healthy sycamore about midway down the island toward the eastern shore, but take a look at the base of the trunk. Kind of neat I thought. (Sorry no measurements of any kind I was in the middle of picking up garbage!)
