But I must have been out there for about 45 minutes before I gave up.
It was while I was out in the marsh that I noticed that tree again.
Maybe if everything was normal, I wouldn't have paid it any mind.
But since there was nothing else around, it really just seemed like the only thing I could really focus on.
Looking back at it, I wish I'd thought to take some pictures of that tree.
But the idea honestly just never crossed my mind.
It was splintered.
as in mostly just a pile of broken splinters.
Have you ever seen what happens to some trees when they're struck by lightning?
The force of it just sort of blows them apart.
The tree looked like that.
I recognized some of the twisted bark on the sagging branches that were still intact, but most of the trunk was just straight-up gone.
So was that massive burl.
Now, considering how I compared that tree to one that had been struck by lightning, the answer as to what happened seemed pretty obvious.
If it looks like it got struck by lightning, and it's been a particularly rainy summer with a lot of thunderstorms, well, on paper, that sounds like some simple math.
But I'd been in the area over the past few days.
We didn't have any thunderstorms.
Hell, we hadn't even had any rain so far that week.
Look, I didn't spend a lot of time thinking about it at the time.
I just mentally noted it as something weird before moving on with my day.
