Bob, Tom; I recently made a brief visit to Green Lakes, and am hoping to get back there soon. I only made a handful of measurements, but they included a 118' white ash and a 124' sugar maple. I also saw black maples and cottonwoods that will exceed 110', so I have no doubt that the rucker index will be over 120. If I get back there, I will try to post a full report.
