The Angel Oak was very hard to photograph. There were people everywhere. But the panorama below with people in the photo helps everyone to realize the size. Photos cannot do the tree justice. The Circumference is 25.5 feet. The height is 65 feet. The area of shade is 17,000 square feet. The largest limb is 11.25 feet in circumference and 89 feet in Length. |

Actually, the people in the photos, help everyone realize the size of the Angel Oak. |

The two RV Gypsies saw a person sitting on the tree, right beside a sign that said "Please do not climb or carve on the tree". Karen Duquette decided to take a picture just as the person was going to pull a child up onto the tree too. Then Lee said, "You really should show respect for the tree and the sign that says do not climb." So the person got off the tree without saying a word. Disrespectful, dumb, self-centered, ignorant, destructive, and a bad influence, are just a few of the words to describe this person. The two RV Gypsies hope that this photo is seen by people who know the rude, disrespectful person in the photos below. |
