I took off in my old Jeep yesterday morning, before it got too hot, and just enjoyed the ride down South Pike road to Courtland, Alabama. Headed from there to Spring Creek and arrived at one of my favorite "haunts" - the lane to lock A (specifically, Lawrence County Park). Just past the old masonry gates, this was what halted me from any further venture down this road. I noticed the old tree had split; having grown in a "V", this is only half of it. So, I snapped a few shots of it for the record, then proceeded on down to Mallard Creek, and then to Hillsboro. The high for yesterday was 102º, the high for today is expected to be 107º. Checking the records, incidentally, the record high for yesterday's date was 108º in 1931 and the low was 40º in 1894.
