New York Upstate reports
On a recent expedition to the Adirondacks, Erik Danielson, 32, stumbled upon a beast of a tree, an eastern white pine that he nicknamed “Bigfoot” for its gigantic flared footprint.
Towering 151 feet over the forest floor, Bigfoot is 23 feet shorter than Littlefoot. But at breast height it measures 16.4 feet in circumference, or more than five feet in diameter, twice as wide as Littlefoot. More impressive, Bigfoot maintains a healthy 40-inch girth even at 80 feet.
