Hello, I hope your tree doesn't fall victim to the mountain pine beatle.
We have lots of pine trees here in British Columbia to the north of you, i wonder what our highest pine tree is.
We owned a motel/campground for 12 years and enjoyed doing that.
Dis you know, Northern Oregon will witness a Total Eclipse of the Sun in 2017, you only have ten years to wait, that event will fill all the motel rooms around you at that time
How good it feels knowing this tree is looked afer so! Thanks.
