Chandelier Tree, Leggett, California

-

This article is part of the same trip we visited Fort Bragg @ Mendocino in California. 

Here is the link to this article - https://sk-digilance.blogspot.com/2021/05/fort-bragg-mendocino-california.html


Next day (in the same trip above), we visited Chandelier tree, a Drive-Thru Tree @ Leggett in California and Its around 1 hour far from Fort Bragg, if you drive non-stop .

I know I know, I said Drive-Thru Tree because it has a 6' wide X 6' 9" high hole cut through its base to allow cars to drive through. The height of the tree is 315ft and 21ft diameter and age of the tree is estimated around 2400 yrs ago. As per my opinion, there is nothing much to this place except a Drive-Thru Tree and you will definitely find picnic tables, rest rooms and a gift shop with plenty of parking space. There is a wide open and serene meadow nearby to walk around.  



I think we bought entrance tickets for driving thru the tree either $5 or $10, not sure, but better to keep cash with you incase there is any change in rules now.

Ps: Do not forget to fold in your car side mirrors. You will be sorry if you don't.

I must say, I am a tea lover and my spouse is a coffee lover. The headquarters is the largest  and oldest multi-tenant building. An impressive building with an interesting history. It was originally built in 1912 as a Sears, Roebuck & Co. distribution center and was converted into the headquarters of Starbucks in 1997. The building has undergone extensive renovations to transform it into a modern, sustainable workspace that reflects the company's values. While the Starbucks Center is primarily a working office building, it is also ope

As you may know, I enjoy taking time to browse through my photo albums to relive the memories of my past travels. Recently, I came across pictures from my trip to Hershey's Chocolate World of Pennsylvania in 2018, and it was truly a remarkable experience. The trip was filled with excitement and wonder as I explored the world of chocolate and indulged in delicious treats.  Wow & wow! This store is like a dream come true for me! The place is enormous and filled with all kinds of Hershey's candies. They also have 3-D movie and historical Trolley ride which is a must-see. The selection is immense and the atmosphere inside is joyous, colorful, and fun. As soon as I walked in, I started smiling because I love Chocolates, I was so impressed with its history too. The prices for rides or candies were good. As i said before, we can experience all the rides for fun, and the best part is that we will get sample chocolate on all the rides as a compliment.  The "Make Your Own Choco
