(OP) User ID: 71498406 United States 01/09/2017 10:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That giant fuckin hole they cut into it so cars could drive threw it weakened the tree. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71123078 That "hole" has been there for 137 years. This was a storm-of-the-century that took it down. Yup. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. Also glad it didn't hurt anyone. Still kind of a bummer, was a real landmark. It would still be alive if they didn't cut a hole through it though |

"This question is asked thousands of times each year by visitors to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. They are surprised to hear that the famous tunneled sequoia tree they seek was never in these parks, but rather 100 air-miles north in the Mariposa Grove of Yosemite National Park. And to complicate matters further, this famous sequoia, the Wawona Tree, fell over in early 1969. The tunnel through Yosemite's famous Wawona Tree was cut in 1881 as a tourist attraction. It was the second standing sequoia to be tunneled (the first, a dead tree, still stands in the Tuolumne Grove in Yosemite). The Wawona Tree stood for 88 summers before it fell during the severe winter of 1968-69." |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 73373192 United States 01/09/2017 12:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | On December 21,2012--the last day of the Mayan calendar, a redwood tree fell in the Muir Woods national monument just north across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. The place where the tree fell is known as "the Bohemian Grove" because it is the place that the Bohemian Club used to hold their annual encampment meetings 100 or so years ago before they bought their current land farther north. The falling of the Redwood on that date in that place is significant: the Satanic reign of these evil ones is coming to an end. And soon. Sad for the drive through sequoia though. |

It's amazing it lasted as long as it did. Quoting: Chip I have as well, Im a Cali native. You really cant describe the awe you feel seeing these massive trees unless you see them in person. I think these remaining trees are some of the last vestiges you our ancient earth. There really is nothing left on earth that naturally grows as big as these did, and they truly make you feel like an ant standing next to one. |

However, as a professional hazard tree remover I will make a wild guess that we should never cut a great tree like that up again. I've driven through that tree a couple times in years past. I thought it was neat. I was wrong. |
