On our family's 1992 California Trip, we left Leggett on March 19, 1992, and continued north. We stopped briefly in
Phillipsville, CA, home of the Living Chimney Tree. The Living Chimney Tree is a California coast redwood tree that was hollowed out by a fire, but is still alive.

The Living Chimney Tree is 78 feet tall (as of 1978) and has a circumference of 50 feet, 4 inches. The center was burned out of the tree in 1914, leaving a "room" 12 feet, 6 inches in diameter.
