AN EXCELLENT ADVENTURE
Brendan and Aidan spent several days with us hiking in the Sierras. Calaveras Big Trees State Park north east of Arnold is aptly named because of the giant trees, many 250-300 ft high and 25-30 ft in diameter. These trees are also quite ancient, 2000-3000 years in age. Throughout the park one finds remains of trees felled by some ancient fire or lightning which burnt the inside of the tree, leaving them hollow and and providing charcoal lined tunnels for little boys to explore.
