Wet winter and wind--

This happened a lot this last season--the ground got soaked and softened to the point that the wind pushed trees over, pulling the root crown right out of the ground. I've seen some places where several trees are lying parallel on the ground--no pix, however. By Houseman Camp reservoir, near Eagle Lake, California, off the Champs Flat road. Jack, our black tri Aussie shepherd, is in the pic to the left of the tree.
