Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: I Met a Tree "Nut." Or rather; an "Acorn...", 1 by shortleaf

Thanks James, the Gudgel Oak is a neat tree, I hope it lives on for many more years there. That was quite a trip you went on, Starhill, Lincoln's cemetery, MoBot you saw a bunch over there. I'd like to have seen more if I was in a better way at the time.
I remember that fastigiate oak coming up thru the bank's roof, an unusual piece of architecture. Actually, I'm kinda familiar with that bank, I spent a couple hours in the parking lot, in front of that tree, waiting for the sun to come up. That sounds strange but I couldn't find the Sternbergs' place in the darkness. I couldn't turn the car off because it wouldn't start and I couldn't sleep in the car for fear of succumbing to exhaust fumes. When daylight broke, I was the first one at the Gudgel Oak by about 3 hours (who can miss a 256 year old White Oak tree!), thats where I met Guy, he was the second one there. I took quite a few photos while I was there, I'd say hundreds. I have this one photo that I took in the parking lot of that bank while I waited for daylight.
Hey, we did Dairy Queen too! It was good. I also have an affinity for fast-food at times.
Speaking of tourist attractions there, Guy, how is the eerie Bur Oak face tree there doing?
