DeVolder: Dead Trees On Bathtub Row
By MARK DEVOLDER
Los Alamos
Recently, I had an opportunity to look over the $5.5 million dollar “trail” running northward from Central. The wide concrete trail winds through some old-growth pine trees east of Bathtub Row. Given the size of the trees, I figure that they pre-date the Manhattan Project.
I began to wonder how the root system for the trees is going to collect water underneath the concrete trail.
In previous trips up to the Jemez Mountains, I have noticed pine trees along the road which were blown over by the wind. The exposed root ball on the trees is approximately 5 to 7 feet in diameter. Read More
