Heartbreaking, really... 17 acres that will just NEVER be the same... and the loss of a 234 year old tree, with a diameter of over 3 feet... Hey, wait a minute here... If were were to plant a tree there today, in another 234 years, IT WOULD BE the just the same!!!
For a little perspecitve, the geographic size of the State of Oregon is 97,073 square miles, or about 62 million acres. The Biscuit Fire itself was about 500,000 acres; the area in question here accounts for 0.0034% of that land.
