The sign said “Drive your car through a redwood” I screamed and said “LETS GO DO THIS!” So we head over to go drive through a massive redwood tree, we were pulling up to go do it and we had to pay 5 dollars to drive through the tree. My father hands over the 5 dollars and we pull up about to drive through a tree! I had my window down and my head was sticking out to watch
