Ya, grate places for a picnic if you can get a foot in the notches
they used for the boards they stood on when h a n d sawing them down.
but now even to ceadar stumps are gone on the Oregon coast range. Easy
money to go in and cut for shake bolts. Did that in the early 70s.

Where would you find a big tree like that?????? Well used as 2x4s to
build that 1950s ranch house. What a ****ing shame.

Oh, but trees are renewable resourse.............. well uh yes if YOU
GOT ONE THOUSAND YEARS TO WAIT ! ! ! !!
