Moon Tree

Oregon State University has a moon tree on campus! I found out about this for the first time when I was here as an undergrad in 2003. I read an article on the NASA's Moon Tree Page about a the moon trees and trying to locate them, and was surprised to find that there was one right here in Corvallis. The article had a brief description about the location of the tree, and I had looked for the tree at the time. I wasn't ever sure I had found the right one, since it wasn't labeled (you would have thought it would have a label!) 

Well that was almost a decade ago! And things have changed since then! When I was telling Eric about the Moon Tree when he visited this week, he said he wanted to go see if he could find it too. Well it was much easier to be sure this time around, since the have a plaque and everything now! The reason for the new plaque is that OSU is dedicating theirs next week! 

Eric and I spend some taking pictures of each other in front of the tree. It was fun, but the light was all wrong, and ended up with a lot of the tree halo effect, which I thought was hilarious.
