Stoney Run

You can see the remains of the old sawdust piling from the old Saw Mill of  the 40s and 50s on the left down stream still eroding into the stream and the river.

The Giant Sequoia - President

The President tree is the name of a giant sequoia located in the Giant Forest of Sequoia National Park in the United States, east of Visalia, California. The tree is believed to be at least 3,200 years old. It is not the tallest giant sequoia tree in the world with a height of about 247 feet (75 m), nor the widest at about 27 ft (8.2 m) in diameter at the base, but it is the third largest tree in the world, measured by volume of trunk. As of 2012, the volume of its trunk measured at about 45,000 cubic feet (1,300 m³), with an additional 9,000 cubic feet (250 m³) of branches.^[1] That same year, it was determined that the President was larger than the General Grant, if measured by total volume of wood above ground.^[1]
The tree was named after President Warren G. Harding in 1923.^[2] Nearby trees include Chief Sequoyah, the 27th largest giant sequoia in the world, and the Congress Group, two dense stands of medium sized sequoias that represent the "House" and "Senate".
