It's Gone

The big tree on Simpson Road behind Home Depot is gone.

Below is a story a reader sent me from his childhood.


I knew the Big Oak Tree (BOT) when it was a young tree of 60 to 65 years of age.

The only time I ran away from home was to the BOT. After 30 or so min. I got hungry and went back home.
 
Back in the day people would stop at the BOT and partake of adult beverages. Simpson road was a gavel road that had very little traffic.
 
The BOT was a cool hangout to a bunch of 10 to 13 year old kids.
 
The BOT will be missed :(.......
