After living here in NH fulltime for almost 40 years, today I finally stopped, took a closer look at, and photographed the ancient White Oak tree in Laconia. It's about a mile north of Laconia's downtown on North Main Street, next to Perley Pond. In Saddle Hill terms, it's about 9 driving miles distant, much less as the crow flies.
This tree is over 400 years old, and the trunk has a circumference of 20 feet. It's the oldest such tree in the state.
