Hello Larry,
Here's a thought for you that I haven't heard anyone suggest. My
other passion is golfing, and I have a pair of binoculars that
measures distance to the pin/flag. The measurement is very accurate.
You could easily do the trig by standing in one point and using the
binoculars, measure to the base of the tree, then measure to the top
of the tree. Then you would have two sides of a right angle triangle
(Hypotenuse and side, solve for third side). The rest is easy. Ask
around, bet someone you know that golfs has one of these tools.
