joeysantoreDescription
Incredible population here. Some of these trees easily 1500 years old or older, 1.5 m dbh, ground uneven and mounding probably due to thousands of years worth of old trees and logs buried beneath. Very healthy stand, never been logged. A sacred g*damn forest if there ever was one.
