  32. My forest map had this spot labeled "Bankers tree". I had to find this tree that was worthy of being named and placed on a map. After much doubting, we settled on this larger-than-average Ponderosa Pine being the Bankers Tree (I later confirmed this).
  33. The Bankers tree is a larger-than-average Ponderosa pine tree off the side of a dirt road in El Dorado NF.
  34. It's 74 inches in diameter, which is still a good size
  35. Really it was just an excuse to drive on some dirt roads.

  37. Nice drive through the woods
  38. I like the texture of Ponderosa pines.
