The deal with the photoshoot is that this guy takes pics of nekkid
people in various locations communing with nature, and then sells the
photos and I think he has some books or something. They are not
untasteful once you get past some of the nekkid folks who probably
shouldn't be, but to each his/her own...
They organized the thing for an early Sunday morning, I think the park
was actually open (the site is part of the Parks Dept) and there were a
few people there, to whom they explained what was going to happen so
they could stay or go or whatever. I think someone got upset and went
and called the cops, or maybe the cops had wind of it since so many
showed up so quickly. The po-pos acted fools, basically created a
problem where there was none, or a small one or something. Now the tree
is back down a dirt road about a half mile, in the woods, nothing else
visible anywhere but trees, so it's not like it was out "in public" even
though it was in a public park. But in the great scheme of things, it
was kinda minimal, at least to my view of things. I think I might have
known it was going to happen, and thought about riding my bike over
there (about 10mi from the house, but sometimes I park over close there
to ride on Wadmalaw Island which is just down the road). I didn't or my
friend who organized it (and who did not get nekkid, she explained it
lamely at some point) probably would have made me shuck my lycra and
join in. The other girl in the video I know probably would have worked
on me too (though hanging around would have been pleasant but might have
had some unseemly results...).
The Angel Oak is the largest tree east of the sequoias in CA, it is not
known how old it is, some say 1400 years, some say maybe a few hundred.
There was a scheme to build a bunch of apartment buildings close by, I
think we have managed to stop that, the developer went bankrupt and I
think the conservation trust people are buying the land to add to the
park, so that is good.
The tree was a gathering place for a long time for the local blacks,
back when they were slaves then later after the Late Unpleasantness. It
has a spot in the history of Johns Island, and a lot of the old Gullah
folk remember going there as children for picnics and meetings and such,
the white folks sorta left them alone in that regard, out of respect for
the tree and what it symbolizes.
If any of you are ever in the Charleston area it is definitely worth a
visit, it is a natural treasure for all of us, and quite amazing to
see. I meant to go over there and collect some acorns last fall and
never did, will have to do that this year and plant some in pots to see
if I can grow some baby angels.

A bunch of them are fat and have ponytails and beards of some sort,
and
ride loud Harleys in packs for reasons I do not understand, and
maybe shoot
guns, so yeah, but we were talking about tree-huggers.
We had a bunch of nekkid tree huggers at the Angel Oak here on my
island,
a friend of mine organized the event, but did not get nekkid,
which was
probably A Good Thing. They did not make much noise but apparently
the
po-pos did.
