Thanks for the comment Kevin. However my research indicates that it is a Sand Pine with an irregular crown that lives primarily on dunes and sand hills. (This dune was about 75-100 feet high.) The Slash Pine has a more rounded crown and inhabits flatwoods. A quick check in Audubon and Wikipedia confirmed this.
