Family Takes Shelter In Hollow Redwood Tree Domed by Fire
A hunter found a family of five living inside a hollow redwood tree twenty four feet in diameter about two and a half miles east of a city. The family from Oregon had no housing, living on odd jobs and skins from beaver and fox trapped by a 15 year old son. The mother, once cultured, appeared reticent about their past while the family planned to spend the winter in their woodland home.
