Saw this 'stick' high up in a large cactus at Las Animas. It is 10' to 12' off the ground. In order for the video camera to reach it it was on a 48"
tripod and I was reaching as high as I could so that alone places it over 10 feet high.
It looks as if it has been there for some time. I assume that cactus grow like trees, from the top. If that is so it would not get higher off the
ground as the cactus grew.
It would stay at the same height it was originally as the Cardon grew taller.
I doubt that stick has been there more than 20 years, 30 years max. Exposed to elements, wood weathers pretty quickly.
Stick Probably impaled in tree by wind or person throwing it.
Woke!

Well you do have a point there.... wonder how long it would last being off the ground and in the desert?
First saw it in 2017 so if I check on it every 10 years or so... it should be rotted by 2050 at the latest....
