Survivor


I was out scrambling around on the ridges above Range Creek the other day.  I noticed a number of interesting things, including a small piece of broken masonry, probably a Fremont granary, and a Douglas fir tree that had recently been struck by lightning.  The strike had shattered the tree, splitting it nearly in half from top to bottom and widely scattering shards of broken wood.  With half of the cambium still intact, though, I won't be surprised if the tree survives.
