Very cool pics.

Yeah, i know. I have been up there since "Sears" was dropped, but its so iconic that new names just do not take well. For example, Candlestick Park has been about a dozen different names, but it will always be Candlestick. Same goes for the Sears Tower.

Yeah, it's funny how that works. Our metrodome has always been HHH dome, now mall of america owns it, so it's MOA field, but no one calls it that.

Sweet, someone on expedition portal said this is the reason for the curvature of the trees :

The reason for these trees being bendy actually is known. We've got a lot of trees like this around my parts and are locally known as "pistol butts". What happens is you have smaller, younger trees, and they get a heavy snow load on them that bends them over. Then when the snow starts melting part of the tree goes back upwards while the weight of the snow keeps the rest bent over. Its kind of like when you soak a piece of lumber in water and then put it in traction and once it dries it stays bent.
