On the way from Charleston to Hardeeville Barb insisted we go see the Angel Oak. This Oak tree was WELL worth the terrible drive down a small dirt road! This Oak tree is estimated to be in excess of 400-500 years old. It stands 66.5 feet tall and measures 28 feet in circumference. It produces shade that covers 17,200 square feet. From tip to tip its longest branch distance is 187 feet. INCREDIBLE !!! These pictures are really nothing, there is a reason this tree is called the most beautiful tree in the world. You can get a sense of its size by looking at the people in the pictures.
We are loving our RV park in Hardeeville, called Lake Jasper RV resort. We are by the lake which is inhabited by Alligators, which is a treat when Winston wants to constantly go in the water! He would make a good dinner, but not on our watch!
We have been swimming these past few days in the outdoor heated pool. It will be 21 today, and 27 tomorrow (feeling like 25) either way we are happy to be outdoors enjoying ourselves. This morning this was our view drinking our coffee.
There was this beside where I was sitting this morning……..
But really, who reads and obeys the signs anyway…..Let’s go back to serenity shall we?
