In between spotting deer… and just south of the Botanic Gardens… Chris & I were
riding along, minding our own business, chatting it up, enjoying the gently rolling
& curving hills, pedaling at about 20 mph… when all of a sudden the bike path disappeared!!!
The trail and its markings just dead-ended in a huge tree! Yes, a huge tree had fallen right
across the path. Luckily we had time to hit the brakes and stop in time. We had just dodged
some large storm clouds that had sprung up in the area – helping to dissipate the 100-degree
temperatures. The humidity was incredible, and we could hear thunder all around us.
We got hit with a little drizzle – but from the looks of this VERY recently fallen tree, I think
we definitely missed the brunt of the sudden storm!
So?… when a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound?! I think this one did.
