This is an old picture, or fresh?
Looks as though that tree’s root-wad had rotted out,
was it a dead tree?
This was an image from this spring.
The Parkway is the old route HWY 101 that starts at the bottom of the NBD bypass.
Lots of wind in that region, a weird microclimate too…….low land gulleys to steep vertical rises in elevation.
I saw someone hit an elk once on the pass side. Destroyed a Subaru…
