For some reason, Emily's one goal for tacky activities on the trip was to drive through a giant tree. As of day 3, mission accomplished. The tree itself was smaller than expected and the experience of driving through was tempered somewhat by the constant checking of side mirrors against the danger of rubbing against the sides of the opening. The first time Emily drove through, she found herself the subject of several photographers on the other side, which only increased the DeLillo-esque "Most Photographed Barn in the World" quality of the day. We paid $5 for the pleasure of the the drive which meant that, by god, we were going to get our money's worth in pictures, tiny videos from the Pentax, and driving through the tree multiple times to ensure the best of the former. The actual original tree has been damaged and is no longer safe for passage, so this tree has taken its place as the "original."
