The Thing in the Water Tank!!!

The Thing in the Water Tank!!!

What do you think this is?

Curious?

Ok. You should be even more curious now.

I'll give you a hint. We pulled it out of my underground water tank several months ago. What would you guess it is?

Well, if you guessed it's a system of tree roots you would be right. It was suspended in our underground water tank. It was just hanging by that large arm like root shown above.

Update:
Yesterday, 1/15/10 we were having water problems, so I opened the lid to the underground tank. To my surprise I found not one but two large roots protruding from the concrete wall. Yes, there was another system of roots dangling. Not as large as the one above but it was and is still there.
