A tall majestic mountain will weather away with time and all living creatures die eventually, even bristle cone pine trees in California and Nevada . Yet I can't help a sense of loss and a sense of sadness to see such an old majestic tree to come down after 1000 maybe 2000 years. My partner remembers going through the tunnel on many occasions and I believe we have family photo of us going through the tunnel as well. So SAD!!
Well at least its not the last of its specie unlike lonesome George (tortoise) of Galapagos Island. Or the last three or five surviving white Rhinos.
And yes many of the giant sequoias have names like General Grant. You can find the names on wiki. I just remember General Grant. And a giant redwood named Luna made famous by Julia Butterfly Hill.
