Card is titled: “Drive-Thru Tree Park.”

Printed on back of post card:

Towering 315 feet into the sky with a 21 foot base diameter, the Chandelier Drive-Thru Tree, known world-wide, is the center of attraction at Drive-Thru Tree Park. Full sized autos easily negotiate the hand-hewn opening at the Tree’s base. Drive-Thru Tree Park is the first large redwood grove north of San Francisco on the Redwood Hwy. at Leggett, California, near the junction of U.S. 101 and California Route 1.

Mail carrier waves at me: “Happy 9/11!” I assume, as when I “Like” a friend’s Facebook post announcing his manuscript’s rejection.
