Re: Our Tree Incident

There's a local rumour that the tallest tree (as opposed to the largest or bulkiest) ever harvested was taken from around these parts. It could be just parochial back-slapping...'hey, our trees are so tall', but it could also be true. There's no doubt that California Redwoods and Giant Sequoia trees are consistently larger than most of what we have here, but I can easily imagine that famous photo of the car driving through the tree having been taken around here too. Keep in mind that the part that fell is only 1/3 of the tree.
