Three O'clock Rock
Big cedar with what looks like an artificially cut off downward facing branch. The part that fell off was a huge burl that must have been so heavy it sheared away from the parent branch.

I have a question for the geologists reading this report. Squire Creek Pass is the second place I've recently seen slabby rock areas with knobby protrusions. These areas must have been glaciated at one time, but they don't look scraped like those areas often do. What is the process to get from the scraped look to this knobby grainy look?
