    Since Locust Post brought up surveyors tape, ;) use a drone to place surveyors tape in the very tippy top of the tree...then you will be able to see it on Google Earth...and google can find anything, right? :handshake:

    :faint:

    If nothing else you could poak around a bit and locate the feed thong areas. I know Google would be helpful for that.

    Sort of a long thread just for talking about some dead trees... But at least it got settled that surveyor's tape might work.

    IMG_4563.JPG Went on a tour last weekend to ID the standing dead. Almost convinced myself I'll remember which ones were which. Almost.
    Blue paint is the way to go.
    On my tour I saw this 20" standing oak with an 8" Ash in the way. It had a blue stripe on it from a forester 30+ years ago. ( almost directly below the saw), well before I owned the property.
    I don't know what that blue was for, but 30 years ago it was a much lesser tree and it's only 8" now.
    Dropped this oak this afternoon. Beauty!

    Blue paint on trees, can be a way to mark a trail through the woods. I know that's the case in a number of places.

    Then again, blue paint on a tree, could just be, blue paint on a tree.

    Around here they use blue paint to mark trees they don't want to cut.

    Looks like a good thing you got that oak. It will give you nice heat.
