I have family pictures from the 60's of us going under that tree. What a shame.

I saw this tree back when I was a teenager, the whole forest is just awesome. That park and Muir woods are incredible. Anyone who goes to San Fran should go see them. Nobody wants to own the reason this tree really fell is because they carved a giant hole in it. The tree had become very brittle over the last decade or so and there was only one branch on it that was alive. The person who took the photo said the tree shattered when it fell.

How awesome would it be to safely witness one of these giant trees falling?

Bammers, you say? Get the tar & feathers. We can fashion a rail from the fallen giant.
