I went camping in north eastern NY this weekend.
Apparently they had a problem in a bathroom and had to pull one of the fixt=
ures. Here's a picture of one of the maintenance guys taking a well deserve=
d break.

His view consisted of Cumberland Bay AKA Plattsburgh Bay, where the Battle =
of Plattsburgh ended the final British attempt to invade the northern state=
s during the War of 1812. Not a bad place to sit and reflect for a few minu=
tes.
To keep this somewhat related to wRec, check out the roots of this tree, wh=
ich was found in the same campground. The tree is on the downhill side of =
a sandy hill. My guess is that the tree is doing everything it can to remai=
n upright as the rains wash away the sand from around it's base.

Looks like an octopus with the eye being that old branch that it lost.
