Pando - World's Largest Organism
« on: October 18, 2018, 11:49:09 AM »
Man, I got to see it when I was fishing with Jim (LandlockedinUtah) in the mountains of Utah, Strawberry Reservoir.  Fishing was awesome, but I was curious about the trees as they were growing in strange patches that seemed to be all connected.  Jim quickly educated me on the Pando which was just awesome to learn!  I had no idea.

Well, it looks like after 80,000 years, it is dying.  A good read if you need something to check out while having lunch.
