Took out a bunch of huge branches from another tree 60ft. away. Bet that was a neat sound and sight! For you Portlanders, check it out at Couch park on NW 19th and Glisan before they clear it up.

I was up further north today and saw lots of branches and stuff all over the roads....

Is it truely old growth, IE a tree that has been alive longer than man has been in that region.

or is it
2nd growth, IE a tree that started growing after the first logging of the area,

or Older growth, a tree over 100 years old

I digress,

everywhere, and a branch fell on the Touareg last night and left a nice dent in the right rear quarter panel. Dam*it!

Historical Information

These blocks were some of the original park properties in the city. Captain John Couch dedicated the blocks to the City in 1869. City plats show the park blocks continuing to Front Street, but Tanner Creek and poor drainage were obstacles to development and land north of Glisan remained vacant. The original design concept for the North Park Blocks was for a continuation of the South Park Blocks promenade. However, the linking was impeded early on by Benjamin Stark's reluctance to give the city the two blocks between Ankeny and Stark. The six blocks between Salmon and Stark donated by Daniel Lownsdale became part of a legal battle with his second wife's heirs. The court ruled in their favor and the property was eventually sold and developed. On the remaining blocks, trees were planted in rows like those in the South Park Blocks, using Big leaf maples and Black locusts with American elms at the street edge.
