Oh OK, then for the sesquicentennial entry: What In The World Happened Here?  : " NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim April 12, 2011, as the first day of the Civil War Sesquicentennial. I call upon all Americans to observe this Sesquicentennial with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities that honor the legacy of freedom and unity that the Civil War bestowed upon our Nation"

SteveC has it. " Hospital Rock in Sequoia NP was the site of several convalesences for injured early settlers
Hospital Rock was once home to 500 Potwisha Native Americans. Archaeological evidence shows settlement as early as 1350, and bedrock mortar sites and petroglyphs remain.
The Native Americans mostly used this site in the winter months.
In 1860, Hale Tharp and his brother-in-law, John Swanson, were exploring the Giant Forest when Swanson sustained an injury to his leg. Swanson was transported to the locale where the injury was treated by local Indians.
Hale Tharp gave the spot its name after a second similar incident. In 1873, James Everton recovered from a gunshot wound at the site. He had been injured by a shotgun snare set to trap bear.Details here.

Facepalm: " NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim April 12, 2011, as the first day of the Civil War Sesquicentennial. I call upon all Americans to observe this Sesquicentennial with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities that honor the legacy of freedom and unity that the Civil War bestowed upon our Nation" I get the facepalm, but how do you square your answer with this? Assume? No. Conclude? Maybe. If by this time you mean "After the Civil War, but before the wings were built".

Yes, those are non-native Eucalyptus trees, and they are central to the story...

Reminds me of the well-known chipmunks line: Aaaalllviiin! On Monday, the conversation went: "What do you think you were doing out there?" "I was selling airplanes," was the answer. Other versions of that picture:   The entertaining interview: video
