Methuselah, a 4,600 year old bristlecone pine, lives 12 miles east of Old Tree, California, and is featured in Rand McNally’s National Forest Guide alongside Patriarch.

CB Operators Begin Project Medic in New Mexico
New Mexico leads by launching Project Medic where licensed Citizens Band radio users aid truckers witnessing accidents or medical emergencies. Volunteers report via 40-33 Medical Alert to a CB Base Station which connects to a 800-432-6866 toll free line and a 2 hour dispatcher team with EMTs doctors and ambulances to mobilize help to the scene. The program, run by Emergency Medical Services State Health Agency and City Different Moonrakers CB Club, lists base stations and aims to speed aid when telephones are limited. A relay system can extend reach when broadcast distance is an issue and downed lines hamper communication.
