A 3200 year old tree.. WOW

Amazingly awesome to think of the life of this tree! Thank God no loggers took it down, 

nor forest fires, nor earthquakes. Just a quiet life in a California forest for all these years.

Imagine, this tree was already 1200 years old when Jesus walked the earth!

The trunk of The President measures at 27 feet across with 2 BILLION needles from base to top.

Of those they selected 126 and stitched them together

And here it is:
