Mighty of girth. Enough said. Lots of fiddling with the camera to take this picture. With some help from squirrels.

Not much of a root system considering the size of the tree. That's why they seem to topple over every once in a while.

Decomposition. The sign says something about the circle of life. I looked for Simba, Timon, and Pumba, but didn't find any of them.

Sequoia National Forest: dome rock

Dome rock is where they filmed a lot of those SUV commercials where the car climbs up on the giant rock on the mountainside. Actually, it's very easy for a car to get there.

A little off roading. Still no sign of Simba.

Sequoia National Forest: dome rock

If Simba was around, he'd be at the top of the rock with a ray of sunshine beaming down upon him. The closest thing I found was this leftover burned up stump that looked like a bear head. Maybe this is Yogi or Boo Boo's remains.

Now fighting the urge to yell out "Ricola...".
