I'll start of by saying the theory of medium can suck my butt. The theory says "don't settle on a compromise, do one or the other and find some good in it". Well as stated previously I'm not a fan of camping, but I figured I'd make the best of it. So Saturday morning we set out to go look for morels, I like looking for mushrooms. We get up the mountain to where I have picked mushrooms since I was a kid. We get to the spot we always park and there is an elderly couple there, no problem, I turn Blue around and go back down the road a couple hundred yard and park in the shade. No more than 5 to 10 minutes away from the truck we here a loud bang, it sort of sounded like a gunshot - but not really. My wifes says she thinks a tree fell and she hoped it didn't land on the truck, I laughed and said no way.
After picking mushrooms for a couple hours myself and my 2 little ones headed back to the truck to get a drink of water. This is what was waiting for me:

That pile of lumber that my little girl is climbing over used to be 60' up.

"Widow Maker" I hate to say it but it's probably a good thing that you were off with your family picking mushrooms when it came down.....still sucks a big one though.

Rodger waterfowlman. We all discussed that it was a good thing it didn't come down while I was getting out of that door.

The good from the theory of medium to take from this is, not to park under dead trees!

What a buncha bullshit. You told me you made a beer run down to the closest 7 eleven after a 12 pack of shock tops and dukes of hazarded it into the ass end of a lumber truck. WTH man!

And here Red had us all thinking you did something stupid and wrecked your truck.

Posted: **Mon Jun 03, 2013 5:28 am**

Someone's got to do it.

I was feeling really bad until I got to the part where you found 4 pounds of morels.

But I am happy that you and yours are safe

This story is exactly why you should have insurance.

The real question will become "are you insured"?

Good luck with the claims process.

No shit!
I will probably be cautious of that scenario the rest of my life. Probably never see anything like it again either.
