Earlier this summer our neighbors cut down a huge dying tree that had partially fallen across our road. Its base, this stump, was left standing up a slight hill to the right. This week it evidently loosened its grip on the earth in the monsoon-type rains we've been having and rolled down the hill and crossed our road. It stopped just a few feet before the hill drops off sharply to a creek at the bottom. That would be to the left on this picture. The photos show different angles of this tremendously huge tree that was probably way over 100 years old. We're not quite sure what we're going to do with it now. Options are to have our neighbor drag it off with his tractor, or push it on over into the creek, or leave it where it's at--it makes for a good conversation starter when we have visitors.
