Scarred Tree

[Sean]

We found this interesting scene on Wright Mountain, one tree had fallen into another tree, leaving huge scars in the bark of the still-standing tree.

View of the direction of the treefall. Scarred tree in the distance.

See the clawlike gashes in the trunk?

It was the squatch, not the falling tree.

It was the squatch, not the falling tree.

I hadn't considered that possibility, but now that you mention it Squatch probably knocked over the tree to disguise his claw markings as scars from the downed tree. Clever beast!
