    I've seen a couple trees that did a complete 360 on the way up. Weird to see a tree with a loop in it. I have a picture of one of them somewhere (it's by Siamese Ponds) but I can't find it now.

        This....suggestive-looking tree... has since been removed from the trail up to Good Luck Cliffs. I guess they're trying to keep it PG.

          Tick,
          What trail is that log with the 6/12?
          I know I've seen that before, just can't remember where.

                  I was on the Stewart and Indian Lakes trail yesterday. Not much snow, but nice and quiet in there. Snapped a photo of this tree. Not the craziest I've seen, but fun nonetheless.

                    On the trail around Putts Pond. I just happened to stop and look up and I thought of this thread. I noticed a few others along the way but my camera battery died shortly after this one.

                        I think I recognize that huge burl. Is that the one on the NPT between Cedar Lakes and West Canada Lakes? Biggest one I have ever seen.

                          Just a little further south along the old path to Beaudry Brook & Jones Brook near Calamity Brook (a.k.a. Wagon Wheel Brook). That burl seems to get bigger every year.

                            The fungi appears to be a Varnish Conk, either Ganoderma tsugae or G. lucidum. Some call it Ling Chih, (mushroom of immortality), and is much sought after by some.

                              I wasn't sure what it was called, but would've bet the farm it was poisonous.
                              Here's a couple more photos of that same fungi:
