toledo bend used to be a huge forest before it was turned into a resovouir ever dug into the history of the lake? ive fished it thousands of times and seen the massive stump fields that used to be forests

My favorite tree. Ive been obsessing about them for the past week. Great minds think alike. I know the third and last men talking because I just saw those videos last week. The montezuma cypress is the national tree of Mexico. Here in San Antonio cypress are the jewels to our riverwalk.

@mattmason4589 Tons got cut down prior to the roads even being paved. Lots of old buildings made with old growth redwood for those who could afford it or those who just owned the property the trees grew on. The main industry was logging. Many California towns have abandoned lumber mills. Now, I think it's only a few mills in California that still process new growth redwood. My great grandfather drove a water truck on logging roads, and my grandpa was a trucker till he died. There were lots of railways that the logging industry funded that either aren't in use anymore or were never finished.
Lived in orick northern Humboldt in the 90s ..those were hit by lightning at times..refered to as goosepens back in the day....check out the dyerville giant tree
When gathering wild herbs, the rule for conscientious gathering is to only take up to 1/3 of the plant. Why not use the same rule for logging? If you take less trees you preserve the forest.
I actually have a picture of the big Cypress over near Orlando before that base head burned it down...... Also heres an update about the Potential Saxer Stones on 4th Street North in St. Petersburg: The oyster bar where the stones sat closed down and someone took EVERY stone I filmed! So those may very well have been real Saxer Stones. They were really big and someone took the time to remove them because they are gone. And it probably took a little bit of energy because one was really big and terribly heavy. So If anyone knows what happened to the stones I filmed out front of the Oyster Bar on 4th Street it would be interesting to know where they went. I took the video down but I probably should have kept it up....Let's hope the stones found a good home away from the noise of 4th Street North. There's actually a dentist office on 4th and 76th Ave North that have melted stones that most people don't know about, if you're in the area, you may wanna check those out. Take care! 👊😎
My grandpa told me that his father told him when they were building the first skyscrapers in New Orleans they would regularly run into these gigantic ancient cypress stumps 50 and 60ft in diameter sometimes bigger buried in the land while driving pilings to support the weight of the huge buildings. They were unable to get through or move the ancient stumps so they left them there and (if not decayed completely, as this would have been sometime in the 1940's) are possibly still there today buried under the foundation of New Orleans. His guess was at one time there must have been an ancient forest with cypress trees of unbelievable proportions that stood where the city stands today. Even my neighbour told me while digging under his house in the late 90's for a plumbing job that he and my dad ran into a giant stump that he said was an estimated 20ft in diameter based on how much of it they uncovered and it was sitting about 4ft down under the northwestern corner of the foundation slab. He said it was incredible to see a tree stump of that size just buried beneath the slab of his house.
I saw black squirrels and grasshoppers on one side of the park and green hoppers and brown squarrels on the other, this was in Morgan City Louisiana. Are they smarter than humans?
Look into a quick read called the logging history of Melbourne, FL. The Union Cypress company was producing the most quality red cypress anywhere in the world at the time right before the logging bust of the 20's. The landscape would be much different in Florida back then, with many massive ancient oaks, pines and cypress trees.
I just went to the Centralia sawmill ruins in hernando county! Longo hit me up next time your up here I'd love to take you to the spot! definitely off the beaten path and forgotten... Still giant cypress logs at the bottom going towards the swamp
Have you heard of Leeds last name is Colnen or Colnenth not positive on the last name? He built his coral castle in Florida using what he called his harmonic code to move huge chunks of coral for his castle. Rock Gate Park / Coral Castle. I'd love to dig deeper on this man .
Yesterday i was out with my daughter in the back yard in the swamp yesterday investigating a little trail made by probably deer. The swamp is dry right now, well the ground is soft but walkable. My swamp is loaded with stumps. I pointed to a random stump and said you see how big that is? Well those used to be to a giant cypress people cut down to use the wood. We had giant trees here in florida.i have 5 acres of nothing but swamp and it is full of the stumps. The random stump i pointed to had to be about 6-7 ft big. If you ever want to check them out, let me know. This little swamp has been granfathered in by the family, protected and untouched by loggers for about 100 years. My little chunck of land was swamp up until the early 70s but as time went, the swamp dried and gave me 2 acres to enjoy. The 5 acres of swamp is most accessable from now until about march although accessable all year, the overgrowth is dying out for winter. We were in there yesterday looking for little newts and salamanders and sirens. They are abundant in there
I live next to an old cypress swamp, my house was renovated in 1924, not sure how old it is. It has a garage built out of raw cypress logs, everything around them is eat up with termites.
Its sad. This is the reason why human live for barely 100 years instead of hundreds of years. Trees speak but majority of us don't realize or care. Snakes in the grass cut them down so human have more health issues
There's a fringe tree in my backyard. It started to die, it was literally falling over, branches were dead. I started to cut it down by cutting the dead branches off, leaving only the trunk. The dang thing then came back to life!!! It looks funny but it put out a bunch of new growth.
I grew up in what is known as "the florida parishes" of louisiana. Before the logging industry came in and clear cut damn near the whole area it was nothing but ancient pine trees. I was told that the cha'ta (choctaw) used to have a name for the area that translated into something like "land of the pines". I've come across old stumps in my wamderings along the bogue chitto that were as wide as i am tall (near 6 ft). I wish i could've seen them.
the logging corps. got rich molesting trees. then the government steps in with lots of cash (our taxes) and trying to restore. vicious cycle of money washing. was out wandering up the old highway 41.(part that's only 2 narrow lanes) somewere n of Brooksville. and happened on a area of harvested cypress as far as I could see and venture it was heartbreaking. to see all the stumps. the feeling there was sad.
Too bad men were so greedy to cut down these magnificent old growth trees , that could by thousands of years old, with absolutely no consideration to the environmental niche they occupied. What careless destruction !
Thanks man.. I love trees and forests. Theres a swampy, wooded area on our property behind our house and I make bandsaw boxes and lathe turnings from dead wood I find back there.
