We decided that there were probably not going to be many more good days to go on rides, so we loaded up the ranger on Saturday. We made our way up to Franklin basin and enjoyed a picnic in the dirt.
We continued on our jurney to the "hollow tree". There are a couple of different stories about it. One is that the post office used to use it to store mail that was coming from one state to the other. Another story is that butch cassidy would hide his bank robbery money in it.
The third story that I've heard is that the bootleggers used to use it to hide moonshine. Whatever the story, it is pretty cool to see. There is a blackened upper branch on it that Mitch said was struck by lightning last year. We had a great time, and ended the season perfectly.
