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
A majestic tree! :)
