"The Rose Festival Fleet is coming ... Hurry!
Get out the Essayons ..we must go vacuum the river!"
Wow! It would be fun to lay (or lie?) under that tree and look up I to those branches.
5 years agoYou’d think so, but surprisingly it isn’t - I found the index, and they’re not listed. The walnuts aren’t either. It surprises me, but maybe be it’s because they’re already protected by the park? Sounds like a worthy subject for a quest though.
5 years agoThank you for showing this. I've lived in Portland for 36 years and I never knew this existed.
5 years agoA pirate ship no doubt.
5 years agoThese walnuts are probably Heritage Trees too. Portland has a great Heritage Tree program.
5 years agoThis elm must be a Heritage Tree. One of the most impressive elms I've ever seen. It had all the space it wanted to really strut it's stuff.
5 years agoSee! That’s why we need you to tour with us, Bruce. You’re much quicker on the uptake. It must be that younger brain thing.
5 years agoYou could have shouted out, "CycleBlaze.com" in return.
5 years agoWell, I’m impressed. I’d forgotten all about that elevator, but went back to review the video (in https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/palermo2019/). Not even close - that one was much slower.
5 years agoWait, didn't you already find The World's Slowest Elevator recently on a different continent? I seem to remember a slow video of it.
5 years agoI remember that branch in Avery Park, but haven’t thought of it in many years. I took Shawn and some friends there when he was a grade schooler. I’d never heard of them as signposts though. Great story.
5 years agoDown in the Willamette Valley, there were trees that had branches like that, that were part of the Applegate Trail to signpoint early settlers in the right direction. One of them stood in Avery Park in Corvallis until the early 90s, every kid in town crawled out on the long "pointer" branch.
5 years agoNope. Me neither. Got my photos mixed up somehow. I’ve got to go back and revisit the neighborhood and find the limes again. I know they’re there!

Cool name! I'd love to hear its pronunciation.
5 years agoAnd I wonder how many people pronounce it correctly when they say, "Hey, let's get together at K'unamost Park!"
