Can I still drive my car through the Wawona Tunnel Tree?
No, the tree fell one spring day in 1969, just a few months before astronuts landed on the moon, the huge tree toppled over into the powdery snow. The tree had not been the largest sequoia, nor the oldest. But it had thrived in the grove for 2,200 years, while humans had gone from horse-drawn chariots to rockets to the moon.
