Taller than the tallest tree is

Back on May 23, I saw a giant long flatbed hauling a pile of timber, headed west on Upland Road at Newark Road. Usually when there's an oversized delivery truck on our narrow roads these days, it's a safe bet that its destination is Richard Hayne's massive Doe Run Farm project on Thouron Road. (A huge crane for planting full-sized trees stopped in at a neighbor's house early one morning looking for Mr. Hayne's place.) But no: they were just utility poles, and crews were installing them along Upland Road, just past Thouron Road, June 6, 7 and 8. They were probably a third taller than the old ones.
