Damn. I’ve seen a lot of wood in my day, but that’s the biggest log I’ve ever seen!
Obligatory – “That’s what she said.”
That’s what your mother said last night, Trebek.
Moving on. Kathie Lee, you have the board.
It looks like he is “clinching”!
If a 1000′ foot tall trees falls into the water and no one is there to see it does it still make a splash?
It makes a splash but no sound. i lost the game
How the hell does this happen?!
The tree must have fallen into a large river during a storm and washed out into the ocean or bay and then was washed back onto the beach. Amazing.
To get sequoia driftwood in La Push, Clallam County, Washington you must first invent the universe.
or exist in this one? (which quite conveniently seems to already be here..)
That would make a nice table lamp.
DRIFT WOOD???!!?!?!!?!?!? MORE LIKE DRIFT TREE FROM THE MOON PLANET ENDOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s because it was filmed in redwood groves.
The fun thing is, you can hop up the far end and run to the end. It makes for a great picture!
too easy.
I was thinking the same thing. Can you imagine walking down the beach and seeing something like that?
Can You imagine your dog trying to bring it to you for you to play fetch with it?????
Cliford, maybe its his fetching stick?
Damn. I’ve seen a lot of wood in my day, but that’s the biggest log I’ve ever seen!
Hmm, I wouldn’t really think it as amusing to take a photo in front of IT. I guess that shows a proof of something.
That’s because you’re an idiot.
not only does it show proof, but it shows the shear size. with out that person in from of it, all frame of reference is lost… cheers!
Good that is washed ashore….It’s a hazard to shipping traffic.
That was what I was thinking. Can you imagine a boat or even a ship hitting it? That is one-heck-of-a driftwood!
anyone ever watch twin peaks? this tree’s in it.
Home Tree ;__;
God that guy is TINY!
Betcha Jacob and the other wolves dragged that out of the water
don’t use my name for such a hideous peice of fanfic. death to all twits.
I love you. lol
Since it washed up in washington, it would have to be a coastal redwood, not a giant sequoia.
Who identified the species of the log? The current in the Pacific Ocean north of the equator flows CLOCKWISE, so the alleged Sequoia would have had to drift south, then west, then north past Japan, etc, before arriving on the Washington coast. It would not drift directly north after entering the ocean. Washington State and Coastal British Columbia, Canada, both have trees that exceed the size shown in the photo. (I grew up along the Washington coast, and that log is NOT the biggest I’ve seen drifted onto a beach.) Perhaps it is a Western Red Cedar from the coasts to the north? It still has moss on it, which would definitely not have survived a drift around the entire northern Pacific Ocean.
Look at the roots. Shallow, Sequoia’s have shallow roots. Western Red Ceder have deep strong roots, which is why there are more old standing red ceders then Sequoia, other then the obvious logging of the early settlers and so forth.
This is Bush’s fault. If everyone listened to me this would never have happened. Global warming is here
Not sure if it is the same tree – First Beach in La Push

You are very right sir. That is the same tree.
Wow! That’s a tree if I ever saw one!
In December 1964 a unusually heavy snowpack was melted by an unusually heavy warm rain storm resulting in flooding from Sanfrancisco to the Canadian border. For years afterwards every river, every bay, every beach was full of logs and stumps as big as this and bigger. Many of these deep piles of logs and debris were still there 20 years later. It is all gone now. You could find redwoods as far North as Washington.
thats alot of toilet paper

Man this piece of wood is really very huge. Although this might happen because of the winds, but we should think of planting more and more trees in our cities and making it a sustained environment so that our children could live a better life. Thanks for posting…
