The Pioneer Cabin Tree

We've always wanted to drive through a giant tree, but where can we realistically do that? Back in the day in California, visitors to Calaveras Big Trees State Park actually could. This photo shows the Pioneer Cabin Tree, and most cars at the time could fit through with ease. It was 1,000 years old, which made it even more intriguing, and it attracted thousands to the park. But nothing lasts forever!

Thew attraction was popular even up until recently. But that all changed when a big storm ravaged the area in 2017. That's when the Pioneer Cabin Tree fell, and stayed down. RIP, tree!
