Holding on!
Literally, strong roots.

@elaterite I'll have to look for them next time I'm out there!

@elaterite Wow! Never seen anything like this before, nature doesn't seem to care about the laws of physics.
@ambivalena @elaterite Nature indeed does not care about the laws of physics.

@msbellows It is a maxim that goats defy gravity just for the fun of it!

@tamami It was somewhere along the east shoreline. But the photo is from 2020. I should go take a look myself to see if they are still there! Good excuse to get the kayak out, when it is warmer, though.

That is really impressive, thanks for sharing it.
@Grizzle Thanks!

Increible
@2025_mx Indeed!

@elaterite @ambivalena I'm not so sure. I sense that goats pursue weightlessness from a sense of rage against gravity's mere existence.

@msbellows That too.

@elaterite I hiked there once last year, but no one was there and was too quiet... Strange that I'm fine being totally alone on my favorite trails, but in unfamiliar places I get so creeped out

@tamami It is easy to do. I sometimes have that problem when hiking at night, especially moonless nights. Sometimes it will occur to me that it is prime mountain lion territory. And that spark mushrooms into thinking a cat is following me. I will turn my headlamp up high & flash it around looking for eyes. Then I settle down & remember that loin attacks are extremely rare & that I have my trekking poles to use as weapons...if the cat doesn't just jump me from behind & bite my neck!

@elaterite Woah. I'm amazed the roots are strong enough to hold those trees up. Impressive!

@elaterite Yes, especially during the winter, I worry about the big cats. I have several friends who refuse to use trekking poles, because they think poles are for old folks, and then I tell them about the fighting chances they'd have if they had the poles... hahaha

@joncounts Indeed! That has to be a heck of a lot weight hanging there, several tons, maybe?

@tamami Ha ha, absolutely! I used to be one of those people. However, after I started using trekking poles--four wheel drive for people--I learned it was a big mistake not to have used them when I was young. And, in a pinch, they could serve as a fine weapon.
