Damn, I drove through that thing

Just paying my respects for the only decent /out/ attraction in california

>>927711
Went and took a look at it myself today.. It wasn't pretty at all, Fucking grew up playing on that fucker...

>>927727
gotta have some pictures of that

the one in the article wasn't great

>>927730
Naw I didn't think of it I'm not big on pictures. I will after work tomorrow and post just for you anon

>>927731
you're lucky to be that close

wish I had a chance to visit there....but nothing lasts forever

>>927733
hahaha this area is a total sinkhole. I still really want to move but I can't deny the local is great for /out/doors.
The people are shitty and the weed culture has ruined a lot of my friends(I'm not even antiweed just anti deadbeat)
Plus i've never traveled much my whole life(only just turned 21)

Kind of a shame what they did to that tree, considering how long it lived there before we decided it looked better with a big hole. But like anon said, everything dies eventually. Even ancient trees. RIP.

>>927736
desu from living in the area. with how many of these fuckhuge trees are still around I totally understand why someone thought it would be cool to cute an arch in one. That one was just super old and fell, theres tons of older trees that had fires in them and are big ass chimneys within 300 feet of that one.

tl;dr there are still hundreds of thousands of redwoods here don't worry

>>927735
well, the grass is always greener...
we don't have problems with stoners, forest fires, or earthquakes here in MI, but there's other crap like having the highest insurance rates in the country and getting half a foot of snow overnight

getting to see the sequoias is definitely near the top of my /out/ list

>>927736
obviously that happened a long time ago, if you haven't watched the ken burns series on the national parks, check it out....people back then could go and do just about anything

>>927735
>only just turned 21
come back in 3 to 5 years when you're entitled to hold an informed opinion on anything.

>>927774
Haha, this guy thinks people can be entitled to an opinion here. No. Nobodies opinion means shit

Its not the one you drive through. Chandelier is the one you can.

Anyway, a lot of memories there. I'll try to make a trek out there this weekend to pay my respects.

Wish you did when it fell so you worthless trip fags would die.
Coming for you shlomo, best watch out.

>>927774
Everyone opinion's are shit you dumbass.

Never had a chance to visit before it fell. Motivates me to get outside while unspoiled wilderness and national parks still exist.

I just started to stratify about 100 sequoia seeds and 30 redwood seeds, hopefully in a few months I'll have many seedlings to plant.

Fateful reminder that we are but temporary visitors on this planet, but nothing we see is ever permanent.

>powerful winter storm in California has brought down an ancient tree

No, that isn't correct.

"Huge tree that morons cut a giant hole in has fallen over because it couldn't stand up to a storm, unlike its neighboring brothers that don't have giant holes cut in them by morons."

>powerful winter storm in California has brought down an ancient tree

no
this is correct
the fact that it was mutilated by uneducated men doesn't change the sole fact that the tree fell

>>927714
>I drove through that thing
How does it make you feel lying to strangers on the internet?

>>929245
That's like throwing a person off a bridge and saying they the water killed them. The tree had been slowly dying, likely because of the hole cut in it

>>929103
The Pioneer Cabin Tree got its name from its distinctively hollow trunk, partially burnt by lightning strikes and forest fire.[11][12] It had small compartments as in a log cabin, the tree's burnt core as a chimney, and a small opening as a backdoor.[13][14][15][16]

In 1857 it was noted that the "top half" of the tree was broken off at about 150 feet, and that the tree was hollow.[17][10]

>tree was in mint condition and would have lasted forever if someone hadn't made the hole bigger

i'm not disagreeing that the lumberjacks damaged the trees structural value

i'm disagreeing that the tree fell period
it doesn't matter what fundamentally caused the failure

the statement
>powerful winter storm in California has brought down an ancient tree

the tree WAS brought down by the wind
period
