On our family trip to California, after riding the California Western Railroad from Fort Bragg to Willits and back on March 18, 1992, we continued on our way, even though I wanted to spend another night in the nice motel in Fort Bragg.
We ended up spending the night in the tiny town of Leggett, home of the Chandelier (Drive-Thru) Tree, which we drove through as it was getting dark, as this picture I took shows. The Chandelier Tree is a California coast redwood tree. It measures 315 feet tall and 21 feet wide and is about 2,400 years old. The opening was cut in 1936 or 1937.
The entire town of Leggett, consisting of a motel, café and shuttered gas station, was for sale.
