This is a family blog. Visitors are always welcome. We'll love your comments! In fact, the Bixbys have always been very hospitable. But remember: this is a family blog. It is about us. Oh-- and Family, remember that visitors drop in any time they want. So let's keep things in the closet and under the bed that should stay out of sight to visitors. Let's be real, but as Dad used to say, "Remember your last name!"
Last week I was in Sequoia National Park training the National Park Service. On the way out, I drove through the park and was able to stop and see the world's largest tree. It is eleven meters in diameter at the base. Hard to describe, and pictures don't do it justice. It is "only" about 2,300 years old, about 1,000 years younger than the oldest trees in that forest.

You get to see the coolest things with this job or yourn! Too bad you couldn't get a pic of yourself beside it to help visualize the size. We had a presentation on the Grand Canyon tonight at church--we have an amazing Creator-God.
Wow! Great way of stating it - largest living organism.
Gives "massive" and new meaning. I'm with Donna, though. I would like to have seen you in the picture so I could compare your girth to its.
WOW!
When Dan said that some of the trees were around when David was king, Jennie informed him that there is no evidence whatsoever that David was ever in California.
I think Dan was somewhat deflated.
Sorry, Dan. The pictures are VERY impressive - and the thought of Paul traveling to across the ocean blue to plant this little seed of a tree is very, uh, imaginative. ;-)
Paul?
This tree was already a couple hundred years old when he was born.
You need a better imagination.
LOL!!! OK, you got me there! :-)
