I Love Nature and Trees But...
It’s time for the 300 year old Burr Oak in the campground at Meramec State Park in Missouri to go. The only part of that tree that is still alive is the one limb that extends over the campground road...

Tree huggers to a mindless degree. Same thing in Big Bend, host said OH no we don't want to cut anything. I said but we can't park in the spots because the branches are growing in. He said you have to park elsewhere.
Why build a campground just to let it be over grown. If they like that big old tree why build a road so close to it? There are also private parks with tree limbs that damage rig after rig. It's insanity.
Wouldn't an RV area seem like the place where an RV WOULDN'T be damaged. Lol
Doesn't have to be tree huggers, here in SC where we could use quite a few more, the state parks are not allowed to remove problem trees. We had damage to our RV because of a sapling leaning over the too narrow road in a state park campground. According to the campground employee who had to BORROW a winch to pull the tree off of our RV they were not allowed to cut down any trees that were not diseased. I suggested salt, mother used it on a cedar my father refused to cut. Works well.
That tree is obviously a danger come any storm with wind and should be removed.
