My Army sister and BIL are getting ready to transfer out of Ft Hood. They are really hoping to go back to the State of Washington. One of their favorite places they've been stationed.

73 is the high here today. I love it!
It’s beautiful out there. Absolutely beautiful if you don’t mind tree huggers Karens and nut jobs
If they get stationed there, it will be at Ft Lewis and they will buy a house in a military officer heavy area which limits interactions with the transplanted Californians.
I haven't gotten out to the Badlands yet since it's on the other side of the state but it's supposed to be great country to explore.@MindfulMan
3,000-pound Triceratops Skull Named 'Shady' Excavated in South Dakota – Geology In
A 7-foot-long, 3,000-pound triceratops skull dubbed "Shady" has been unearthed in the Badlands of South Dakota, a Missouri college announced...www.geologyin.com
Afternoon all. How goes? Just finished a sammich. Forgot to share my acquisition from Sunday. Traded off the 10.5" for cash+ammo+this...
I was thinking the same until I went down to the riverbank. Waters up, moving fast, and muddy. I just finished yard work so I'll just enjoy the view instead.
They are a plague that has infected the entire state.
One of the 'hottest' (literally and figuratively) ongoing digs are in the Badlands. World-renowned paleontologists are sifting through a layer of earth that recorded the great dinosaur extinction event, that occurred 66 million years ago.
Hopefully, 0830 will find this post later today, as he was curious.
This is the site of the lightning strike.
Using a a 50 mm (standard perspective) lens, the first photo was taken at almost the same spot where I stood when it hit. The tree is an 80'+ (estimated, as I can't see the top of it) ash, that would take two men to wrap their arms around.
(you can see the streak / split coming down the side)
Looking up, I couldn't see the end of the split, but it went as far up as I could see .... probably clear to the top of the tree.
Here is what the base of the trunk looked like. The split is about 3-4" wide and deep !
I don't know whether the tree will survive. It depends on how many of the internal capillaries were cut .... the split spiraled as it came down the tree.
At least in this case, it was odd to me .... as I'd always thought that the bolt struck, and then withdrew immediately. This was not the case. At about head-level, the bolt split into 3 separate spears (like a trident), and then danced around in a mad dance, before withdrawing. I was both fascinated, and terrified ... and frozen (not by choice), as it felt like I was totally under it's power.

I'm far from an authority, LE, but here's my opinion. I feel that's probably real elephant ivory.
It doesn't fit the pattern of any mammoth tusk that I've seen yet.
It could be a poplar, or perhaps another tree, Tarzan. I thought that I saw an ash leaf among the clutter of blow-out on the ground.
