Talk:Driftwood

message: Hi 63.192.137.xxx, could you help me out here?  The page you linked to says the Old Man is a tree stump, but you say it's a full tree....which one is it?  --Dreamyshade
I said it is a "full sized" I didn't mean a "full tree" with leaves and fruits etc.  When I was at Crater lake, I failed to see the "old man" myself.  But according to the literature, the "tree stump" was from a tree over 100 feet tall (initially) with most of its length under water, not just a chuck of wood.  That's why I said it is a full sized tree. I hope to find a picture with a boat or human next to the "old man" because I have not seen it myself and I don't know how big it actually is.  Just like the tip of an iceburg, only the stump is visible to the tourists.  Change it if you want.  
According to
http://www.outdoors.net/magazines/outdoors/camping/nationalparks/craterlake/nn-vl11b.asp#3
The old man is 4 feet above and 30 feet below water with a diameter of 27 inches.

I found a picture with a man standing on the "old man" at http://www.outdoors.net/magazines/outdoors/camping/nationalparks/craterlake/nn-vol27.asp

:Driftwood, Texas is a small town which actual "town" environs include the basic requirements: a post office, a church, a former store, and a grave yard. The area is so attractive and relatively unspoiled that several movies have been shot in proximity. In this one area is the temple of meat:The Saltlick and the other temple: Barsana Dham - the largest Hindu temple in America.
I removed that from the article. According to The Handbook of Texas Online, Driftwood is a teensy-tiny little town. Important enough to include here? I'm not sure, but my wikinstincts say no. --Dreamyshade 08:51, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: *I once had a holiday in Pembrokeshire, and (to collect firewood) sometimes we went to a particular cove which tended to accumulate driftwood, and much of that driftwood was sawn wood (planks, beams, parts of packing cases, etc) rather than natural parts of trees.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The first line of this article states that driftwood is a form of Marine debris.  However, the page for marine debris defines marine debris as specifically man-made waste.  My impression is that only a small portion of driftwood is composed of man-made waste.  So, is it appropriate to classify all driftwood as marine debris?  My feeling is that it is not.  Thanks in advance to anyone who can clear this up. Saamwisetheb0ld (talk) 02:19, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
