A big oak tree

  

In the campground at Goose Island State Park.  (We're not there now but this is a picture from when we just were.)

 

It's a really nice tree.

 

If you want to see a really large oak though, you have to go a couple miles down the road to the Big Tree.

 

The base of this coastal oak is 35 feet around.  It's somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 years old!  This tree was alive when the population of the entire planet was around 300 million people, just 4% of the current population of 7 billion.
