I prefer to think of it as a colonoscopy of the Jolly Green Giant.  ;-}

Okay , so that's just a joke, of course.

I grew up on the east coast and explored the trails and lack of trails near my grandparent's summer house in the mountains. The big thrill was to go up to the "Bear Spot." Up there you could sit on some rocks and actually get a view. Never saw a bear up there but it was pretty exciting for a little kid. 

I think I was twelve or thirteen before I learned that it actually was the "Bare Spot," a bald created by a lightning strike. I went back as an adult and we couldn't find it. It had grown back and vanished.
