"Giant Sitka Spruce - Klootchy Creek" Waymark

Long Description:
Picea Sitchensis,Sitka Spruce Oregon Heritage Tree.

Located in Klootchy Creek this has to be one of the Biggest trees besides the Mighty Redwoods that I have ever seen.
We visited this giant on our Lewis and Clark Journey.
At 750 Years Old this one was alive when those famous explorers passed this way.

Imagine if it could talk..........all the stories it would have to tell.

I will let you be the judge on your visit this way.
So make sure to make it one of your Waymarking stops.

As always have fun be safe and

HAPPY................................WAYMARKING
