That means, it's a big fucking tree!
General Grant Sequoia is the largest Sequoia in the General Grant Section of the Giant Sequoia National Park, and widely known to be the second largest tree in the world. Hosed for first place but Sherman... and replaced some tree in 2005 in second place when some tree died.

We've made a trip or two, down the mountain and a few times have passed Fairlea Farm. It has some amazing scenery... I could spend all day looking at Fairlea... These flowers are some of the thousand or so shots I made since traveling out to sunny Cali!
