When I was little my late grandpa took me to this tree I play on trunk outside the tree

The California super storm passing through Northern California the last few days has claimed a historic victim. The Pioneer Cabin Tree, a former 'drive-through' giant sequoia was felled over the weekend thanks to the heavy rains and wind whipping through the state.

The tree, hollowed out in the 1880s, was a landmark for tourists visiting the National Park. Cars have not been allowed to drive through for years, but hikers have been able to walk through it as part of the "Big Trees Trail" at the park.

I am not a "tree hugger", but I'm sorry to hear this. Feels like a part of my childhood of the 1950's is gone.

Ang: I thought I had an account under "Ang" (I think since 2015) but then when this forum switched to ProBoards I lost access. :( Been awhile. So finally made a new account. What happened? However, maybe it was another Christian forum that I lost the url to. Jun 24, 2023 10:20:10 GMT -5 *
