Global Warming does it again... And maybe that huge hole didn’t help out.
Nowadays the environmentalists wouldn’t let the tunnel be carved in the first place, just like they wouldn’t allow Mt. Rushmore, Boulder Dam, Hoover Dam, The Grand Coulee Dam, or the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Yeah, but makes for good shakes and shingles.
I have a postcard showing this sequoia with the tunnel.
The postcard itself is over 100 years old.

Yes you should.
They are incredible.
I recommend the Avenue of the Giants.

I guess the toothpick market is going to be seeing a glut soon.

No, it needs to be buried, out of respect.
Can’t creamate it, due to carbon.
Now that the tree is on the ground, rather than doing anything useful with it, the park service will require that it just lay there for decades rotting.
Watch for her new release:

I’ve walked under that tree. And yes, it’s sad, but my Lord, those people are insane.
I want to mourn the loss...

The Maples did it.
Posted the wrong link.
This is the mourning video I want.

Man made no doubt :)
