I too rode through that tree when I was young--one that my mother had gone through when she was younger. As an adult, when I first moved back to the west coast, I took a trip down the coast into California, mainly so I could see that tree, and the other giants again. Truly breathtaking.
And although it wouldn't be the correct thing to do now, having a tree that one could drive through made many people divert their routes to include that side trip; so many people saw the redwoods that may not have done so without that tree.
