It’s just such an unusual sight that people are still attracted to see the trees that are still alive.

I remember driving through a redwood tunnel when I was a child. It’s an amazing site to see cars pass through a tree, but I’m glad they prohibit it now.

Hundred-odd years ago people in this country would hollow out the trunks of baobab trees for things like pubs – sacrilege I say to do that to a tree that was already growing on this earth when Jesus was born.

Evidently lots of people still think so. They are still open. 😀

We are still looking forward to seeing Sequoia NP. Last time in the area, it was closed due to fires.

No need then for reservations years in advance! The redwoods are awesome in the real sense of the word; you feel awe standing among them.

This wasn’t a moonless night! It was bright, but its light couldn’t make it through the forest. It was an experience.
