#45 Smith Cabin, Calaveras Grove
The Smith Cabin Tree is 23 feet in diameter level at the high side ground, 19.8 feet diameter at chest height, and 268.5 feet tall. It is named after Alexander Jackson "Trapper" Smith, who lived in the tree in the late 1800s for several years while he was working in the grove. The tree is widely accepted to be the second largest in the South Grove, and I have not measured anything to disprove that.
It has about a 15-foot-diameter circular room burned into its base and a tall doorway in its side. As a cabin it would be perfect if it was to be equipped with a proper door. Just to the side of the doorway is a tall, thin window opening, and it boasts a spacious peaked, vaulted ceiling. If location is important to you for your cabin, this one would be truly prime.
