Bet it's taken down a Griz and Wolf or two in it's day. I've floated the Yellowstone lots fly fishing - would have been crazy to stopped by that Cottonwood for some shade and made that discovery. Makes you wonder what might be under you own feet while out on the ponds. I guess a section of Blue River Trail or Mormom Trail goes through a section of my land. I'll bet there are some amazing artifacts buried that had to be sacrificed from the ox and wagon on the way out west.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
