I think it's from there that I have a photo where I was able to drive through the base of a tree. (they cut a square out of it). It was awesome.

The tallest in the park is about 250 foot, but they grow up to 300 and odd. Amazing, and beautiful! Yep, and 200 foot is conservative.

There's a picture of a few of kids spread out on the trunk of one that had fallen over, and it's pretty funny, we all look like midgets. As for the slugs, here's a memory to be grateful you don't have. When my baby brother was 2 (I was 13), we lived in Washington state, the NW corner, where slugs were very plentiful. My brother was teething and of course chomping on everything in sight. He was playing in the yard, and Mom sent me out to check on him. When I ran shrieking back inside, she of course thought something was horribly wrong and ran out there. Once she saw what I did, she about ran away shrieking herself. He had 3 slugs in his mouth, and one in each hand. Happily drooling, chewing as hard as he could, it took both of us to wrestle him down and dig them out. It was horrible, disgusting, and that kind of goopy, sticky slimey that's just beyond disgusting. The really gross part was for the whole time he was teething, it was the only thing that made him truly happy, and after fighting with him several times a day for a couple of weeks, we gave up and let him have his slug teething ring. The only thing we could figure out was maybe they had something in their slime that made his gums numb, or that the icky texture felt good, cause once finished popping his teeth through, he never picked one up again except to hurl at people who made him mad.
