We used to make fun of Earl Bowden (one of my in-laws - great guitar
player!) as he was always afraid of trees falling.  He wouldn't camp around
trees, didn't even like being out when it was windy.

Then one year he was out 'hunting' on Quartz Mountain (southern Oregon),
actually sitting in his Jeep Wagoneer near the ridgeline, having coffee
before he headed out, when a tree fell across the hood of the car.

Definitely one of those 'I-told-you-so!' moments, and he lived through it!

When you live around trees, there are lots of tree stories.

Those pics just make me sick.  A friend had the same thing happen to
his parent's new Adventurewagen back in the late 80's.  Sorry for
your loss.

Enjoy your vanagons like each day is its last?
