    It is a lovely specimen - especially with all the fine hairs! I had a great time and so glad you let me know you'd be local so I could hang with you and Judy for a day. Hope we can do it again some time. Glad you got to do the other 2 trails you had mentioned. There are lots more - got to get you to Spruce Flats Falls in Tremont!
