Winds picked up big time last night just a bit after dark. The rain wasn't too heavy, but the breezy conditions continued into this afternoon. A walk on the eastern half of HH demonstrated once again the power of nature. An 80 foot white pine fell into the trail heading to the eastern cleared area. This picture looks south toward the very large tree in the trail.
Farther north, a red maple broke in the wind, adding another crown to be cleared from a blocked trail. The part of the trunk still attached to the ground can be seen on the right side of the pic, with the downed crown in its resting place.
