How the ???

 
What are the chances of this???
Welcome to our washing/swimming spot on the river. This big rock right
in the middle of the stream is a good indication of the water level when
you look down on it from the back end of the airstrip. If it's been
rainy, the water comes up towards the top of this rock, but when it's
dry, you can see even more than you can in this picture, so currently
we're at about average river height. However, you'll notice an
interesting feature delicately balanced on this stone. Last night the
rains flooded down the river and lifted this tree trunk up and deposited
it where you see it now. It was perfectly balanced so that the kid on
the left caused the whole thing to see-saw. It was just heavey enough
though that he couldn't rock it off it's perch and it took Boaz and
about eight kids to roll the thing back into the river while I stood by
and got video of the splash it made.
