On May 28, 2012, I was working in the Sierras and I found a 64 inch ponderosa pine (or Jeffrey pine, it is hard to tell the difference). I made note of it at the time because that is a big ponderosa, even in the Sierras. On May 28, 2014 (last Wednesday), I was looking for a colleague on the Beaver Ranger District in southern Utah. I parked by his truck and started walking in the woods. I was near what they call "The Big Tree," so I wandered around until I found it: A very large ponderosa. I decided to tape it. 66 inches. Wow. In southern Utah. A new personal record that is larger than the one I found in the Sierras.
