This stump occupies a particularly moist spot on Mount Tamalpais. For those familiar with the area, this is near where Ridgecrest Boulevard intersects with Fairfax-to-Bolinas Road. It's the low spot on the ridge where fog finds the easiest route -- it's definitely the foggiest location.

And here's some of that moist fog. I'll have to return for photos when the fog is so thick that visibility is reduced to just a few feet.
