This one is located North of Lake Plesant in Yavapi County.

This is the first one I found. Its a fat one.

Look at that bark. Just how do you measure these things?

That's a yard stick. Those lower arms are bigger than most saguaro's

Yea! Got the Arizona Register of Big Tree people here to show me how to measure these.
