Tips

🕊️ 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒓

One of the most iconic and enduring hallmarks of American roadside kitsch is the drive-thru tree — only possible with the massive scale of California's redwoods. Of two previously known tree tunnels in Central California, the one in Tuolumne Grove is through a dead tree, and the Wawona tree in Yosemite fell in 1969. However, there are three drive-through redwoods still on California's Redwood Coast, all of which are operated as tourist attractions. This particular tourist trap is an essentially dead and mostly broken-off redwood tree whose demise probably was accelerated by the cutting or enlargement of a large hole through its trunk and the continuous parade of cars and people stomping on its sensitive root system.

I saw all the "Defend the constitution" signs and NRA stickers inside the toll booth and thought "Meh, I'll pass." I'm not convinced that cutting a tunnel through a giant redwood tree for their profit and our amusement is a good idea.
