The Eternal Tree House


The Eternal Tree is in Redcrest at 26510 Avenue of the Giants. The Eternal Tree House is not up in the sky. It is in the basement of an old dead redwood, a replacement for its roots. Around the rim of the house new trees have grown from the old, so "eternal" of the title makes some sense. Entrance is free, and the door is always open. Here and there are carved old male figures to give some idea what eternity might be like. Three old men sat outside the cafe, drinking coffee, and smoking. Coach America drove up, and a busload of Swedes piled out, seeking immortality American style.
