Wye Oak State Park

Nice little park. Wish I had seen the wye oak when it was alive.

nice state park

Cute little park that's an easy jog off the main route between the bay and Ocean City. The enormous white oak tree that this park was created to preserve has since been felled, but, a new tree has been planted in its place and a section of the tree has been preserved under cover a little ways back from the main road.

A touching experience, one of nature's most magnificent specimens, sadly lost in a hurricane some years ago. A sapling will someday majestically rule in its stead. Oh what that majesty must have witnessed during it's lifetime. Off the beaten track, but worth the detour, so long as your not a developer out to reap the beauty, for your greed and personal gain.

I remember the oak fondly. My heart broke when I heard it had fallen. But with each death comes new life.
