Let's Make a Deal!!!

Dave, I live only four miles or so from Takoma Park.

If I can find the exact tree shown in this photo, will you provide to me one of the great cars in the Las Vegas Kodachromes as a reward?

I realize that you might need to contact Jay Leno in order to fulfill this request, but you two should hit it off great!

Trail marker

Native Americans would tie down a branch or sapling pointing in the direction the trail went, and as the tree grew would leave a permanent marker pointing where to go. There are still a few left if you know where to look. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail_marker_trees
