A hollow deception in South Tamaqua

Drivers traveling south past old SR309 (was Route 29) in South Tamaqua would hardly notice a lone Oak tree standing about 30 feet tall in the front yard of a nearby barn. Although if you look close enough, you'll see that it is very deceptive. Even though the tree looks healthy from the outside, the entire inside and north-facing side is hollow. Standing 5 foot 6 inches tall, Ted Bogosh Jr. stands in the middle of the hollowed out Oak tree.
