  The Athens Trail-Marker White Oak (Quercus alba), core-dated to the 1730s, probably was bent into this form by native Americans to point the way to a natural ford of the Sangamon River -- it lives on despite the subsequent construction of a bridge, just down the road from Starhill Forest. Our friend Sue Wydick is perched on the trunk at center for scale.
