Great find!....
What's your plan?
Use a hand truck.
I did a quick ring count. 20 rings 15 inches across... (half) of the tree)
300 years old? No way. rings are close, real close.
I will do a factual count in the day light...
Sure..sure. Except the old growth fir....And the Redwoods. And this "block" has been in the ocean for... Who knows.Lighter colored rings are during the summer months, while darker rings are winter months. If you'll notice, the lighter rings are wider than the darker rings. So one light and one dark ring = 1 year. In years of severe drought, it will be very easy to miss a set of rings, as the tree would show little growth.
Just looked up your area. Have never visited there, but from what I understand, trees normally grow pretty quick there.

Take a right, and then I can roll it down hill to a road. It's stashed in some brush right now.
