Some creatures just dont have any luck. After my brief yet intense investigation I determined there was no foul play. This little guy got wedged in a crack in the tree and was not able to get out. The hard luck of nature.

I also recently discovered that if you are lost in the woods and worried that Blair Witch may be taunting you to just look for this tree as it will point you in the direction of your car. When in doubt just search for this tree.

On a side note. I am out this summer. Off the the left coast for a few years. More information on that to come.
