Iconic California drive-through tree falls during winter storm

One hundred and thirty-seven years ago, well before the Calaveras North Grove was purchased by the California State Park System and renamed the Calaveras Big Trees State Park , the land's owners carved an enormous hole in the base of one of its sequoia trees. On Sunday, that tree fell. This particular, 150-foot tall tree boasted a wide base - about 33 feet in diameter - which featured a large fire scar, an attribute that makes it easier to tunnel through. And that's exactly what the owners created, a tunnel wide enough for an automobile to drive through.

How can we blame this on white men?
Posted on 1/9/17 at 10:40 am to LSUTANGERINE
I blame global warming.

would it have fallen if someone didn't cut out the portion for the road to pass through it?

White men probably forced migrant asian workers to dig the tunnel. There you go.

Well, guess I can go ahead and scratch this one off the bucket list.

it fulfilled its original purpose, which was to compete with the Wawona Tree in the nearby Yosemite National Park. The North Grove's owners carved out the Pioneer Cabin tree in response to the 1881 carving of that tree.
