You really must stop following me around.

Here's where I just came back from today. This mammoth individual is next to the Henry Clay grave site (that's his backside at the very top right of the pic) in Lexington (KY) Cemetery.

This tree pre-dates the founding of this country. I really should get its trunk measurements. Before the big ice storm of February 2003, I think this was the second-largest basswood in the US.
