WOW That is a HUGH Tree!!!
That's no Charlie Brown Tree, no sir.
That tree is way freaking bigger than my house.....10 houses could fit into that tree probably! No sir, that ain't no Charlie Brown tree!
I actually live in Mahopac (where the Actons live) and I've seen that tree every day while goin' to school. It's like something's missing now that its gone, but knowing it'll put Mahopac on the map makes me feel better.
