> It’s hard to make out, but the reed-thin sapling, bent over almost double,
> tree-tips touching the ground, is the only thing holding up the large
> stick. I would love to have watched it fall then come to its precarious
> balance. (And no, there is near zero chance that someone placed it there.
> This was a mile or so off-trail. No sign of any human there in decades.)
