If I was 20 years younger I would go out looking for this tree and for others that could be bigger around or taller......of course with my Desert Eagle in my right hand most of the time so I wouldn't be eaten by a bear or cougar .........I have lived on the NE corner of the Olympic Peninsula since 1971 and on my property for the last 31 years have been planting Giant Sequoia's and I have about 40 of them and several are close to 100 feet tall now and the ones in the lower areas close to the creek are fatter than the oldest one......so when I am 1000 years old I will really have some NW bragging rights..........there are older ones in the area that I saw as a kid and is why I even started doing this and one of those in a row next to the highway was hit by lighting a few years ago and it is now less than half as tall and it lost branches that are the size of trees most people see......it is still alive so far but I don't think it can survive that huge break across the top now.
