The 400-year-old Angel Oak Tree measures 65 feet tall and its trunk is 31.5 feet in circumference. It is the largest east of the Mississippi and is magnificently beautiful. I visited the site this morning while Jeanine remained at the hotel to conduct a Zoom call for the consulting project she is currently leading.

My next stop was a brief visit to the Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. I could have spent the entire day there, but I had to return to the hotel to collect Jeanine. We started heading north at noon, but not before securing a pulled pork and chopped brisket grilled cheese sandwich for the road.
