the general

I was desperate to see General Sherman, for my tree collection. I want to see the most famous tress before I die. Like Hyperion, Pando, Methuselah, and Tjikko. The General was up on my list. Last year, the last camp that we did was to Sequoia Park just to see the tree. I am very familiar with Coastal Redwoods, so it was very interesting to visit their Eastern cousins. The trees are scattered, not together like the redwoods. Its thick, cinnamon color bark makes it easy to spot while hiking.
