    We took a hike on Saturday to the gorge that my favorite river runs through. It has been blown all fall, but it is very pretty and just fun to be around.

    We came across this tree and found that it was burned on the inside only. The kids thought it was really cool and we are choosing to believe that it was from natural causes and not intentionally set.

    Taking a breather…

    The trail we were on slowly narrowed to this little point

    and this was the view from there. It was about 400 feet straight down off the end and just awesome. Tracy and the kids stayed back down the trail a little but while I walked up there. I lasted about one minute until vertigo took over and I had to inch my way back.

    Please excuse the crappy photography and off topic post.

    Definately a lightning strike. I’ve seen this before and actually had a tree in my back yard that was hit and looked the same way. Pretty Cool though.

    Cool. I have never seen anything like that before and we thought that was probably what it was, but also thought that maybe the tree was starting to rot and getting hollow and was lit up by someone. Pretty cool to know for certain that it was lightning.
