Every now and then I find a log on the ground that's twisted in a spiral, as if some giant had hand-washed it, wrung it out, and forgotten to hang it to dry. I have wondered what caused that; could it have been because of the way it fell?
But today, I found one still standing, and already wrung out.

| Zeballos highlighted in pink. Snag halfway there from Hwy 19. |
A work of art as well as a possible fire hazard … this gnarly twisted branch looks like a creature climbing up the matchstick tree.
