Big Tree is fenced off, but there were several other large oaks in the area that looked perfect for climbing. After waiting for a few kids to climb out of the tree, I had to give it a try!

Big Tree
No Black Friday sales for us. Instead, we took a short drive to see the largest tree in Texas. It turns out there is an official method of measuring a tree with points given for the trunk circumference, tree height, and branch spread. While it's not a very tall tree, it's large for circumference and spread. The tree is officially "in excess of 1000 years". Wikipedia says it may be closer to 2000 years. A bit of a spread.
