My Friends who work in the park informed me that there are several candidates that might be even older than Methuselah
As part of the deal I promised my guides that I would not reveal Methuselah’s location or photograph (nor theirs). After what happened to The Senator Cypress in Florida earlier this year, we have to do all that we can to protect these old timers from… us.
What I found most amazing about the oldest grove of trees in the world is that, amongst the younger trees who are only a few hundred years old, or a few thousand, were also the remains of trees that had died before the pyramids were built, still standing carcasses of trees 10,000 years old, like a scene from a Tim Burton Movie, and the young trees that are just sprouting up in the midst of them.
I would love to come back again, on a moonlit night, and let my imagination wander.
Unfortunately my photographic skills were not at their best, and the 4 mile hike at 10,000 ft altitude didn’t provide me with many photos worth sharing. As always, Rachel Sussman has taken the best photos of all when it comes to the worlds oldest living things.
