Fairly short solo hike today (Jan and I went to a play yesterday afternoon so I skipped the standard Saturday hike with the usual suspects), Section Line down the Nook Trail.
I encountered the above broken tree limb on the Bus Trail and thought: how bad would your timing be if you happened to be on the trail at the exact time the limb fell?
It happens – last year a guy was killed by a falling tree on the trail I hiked on Thursday, Twin Falls – but I don’t think the probability is very high. Here is where the limb came from:
One other note, I passed Round Lake along the Wetlands Trail and was glad to see it is is close to being back to its normal size. It is a small lake again rather than a big puddle.
