 Hedge Apple?2559 viewsWe found this, one of natures little oddities, along the Great Allegheny Passage, one of our many bike trips.

 Slim1979 viewsIf slim had been on the freeway instead of a bike way he would be known as a sail snake.

(sail snake: a snake that has been repeatedly run over until flat and dried. Then you can pick it up and sail it like boomerang.)

Not to worry, Slim is living large in Virginia and having a fresh tourist everyday.
