A ginormous piece of driftwood in La Push, Washington

Six foot Amanda Lachman in front of the driftlog 

"The wind was howling and there were rain squalls at times," said Phillip Lachman, a retired school teacher who photographed the drift log on April 5, 2010. "On the beach at La Push there was a huge amount of driftwood of all sizes and there in the middle of the beach was this tree. We were mesmerized by the sheer size of it and wondered at the force of the wind that brought it here."  

This was probably the result of a tree on a crumbling hillside being swept off during gale force winds, along with very high tides last spring. They don't know what brand of tree it is (probably Western Red Cedar, Sitka Spruce, or Douglas Fir).  I don't know if it's still on the beach or not...
