About
This Oak tree is estimated to be 1200 years old. The branches are so heavy that they hang down to the ground and have been covered by soil over the years, causing them to root into the soil.
Thank you to the Pechanga Band of Luceno Native Americans for the priveledge to visit and photograph this natural wonder.
What things that wise old tree has witnessed... the development of the complex mythology of the Native American people, the gold rush, the great depression... and perhaps most significant, the election of Arnold Schwarzenegger as governor of California.
