Here I stand, a tiny human, at the root wad of maybe the biggest drift log I've seen, a gargantuan Sitka spruce.

Here I stand, a tiny human, at the root wad of maybe the biggest drift log I've seen, a gargantuan Sitka spruce. It's been lodged in the sand of First Beach at La Push for several years. The beast undoubtedly came down on high flows one of the rivers of the Olympic rain forests. My sweetie took the pic. #ThickTrunkTuesday #AltText
Table makers everywhere are drooling. But I like it right as it is. Thanks for the pic.

@therockfiles I have a guitar with a spruce top!
@GPJohnston I like spruce top guitars, esp. classical guitars!

@GPJohnston Wow! Must have been quite a sight to see that tree moving thru the water!

Epic photo

@RobinApple Had to have been a mighty storm to wash it out to sea and throw it ashore!

@GPJohnston That would be fun to radiocarbon date...

@GPJohnston
That is amazing. I went to La Push in 2009 (my daughter and my wife both were Twilight fans) and I don't think that was there. In general, the amount of timber that gets washed ashore in the PNW is astounding. I can remember walking along a beach on Vancouver Island decades ago that had literally hundreds of trucks piled on shore—the ones the timber industry couldn't fish out of the river in time. They since all been recovered. -

@Brad_Rosenheim safe to say the tree lived at least a couple hundred years, but the life span of Sitka spruce is less than 500 years.

@chrisp Not sure even Clifford could handle that one.

@GPJohnston For anyone that hasn't seen the sign
@Mr_Briney that one ain’t going anywhere soon, but definitely not a good idea to be around logs in the surf.

@fivetonsflax @GPJohnston Hi Ben, who or what is Adirondack?
