  5. Now that’s one old tree! How do they count all those rings? Almost looks like 2 trees that grew together.

    I saw similar on my auto trip out West in the 1980’s. My husband (my ex) and I saw some HUGE living pine trees. It was amazing to see a pine tree with a diameter so much larger than those we find in Alabama. I’m going to have to dig out my photo albums, digitize them, and put them on my facebook page. The sequoias were the most awesome.
