I may go crazy before that mansion on the hill, but my heart keeps beating faster and my feet just can't keep still.
The Tree of Ténéré was once the most isolated tree on Earth — the only one for over 400km in either direction. It was a landmark on caravan routes through the Ténéré region of the Sahara in northeast Niger — so well known that it and the Arbre Perdu or ‘Lost Tree’ to the north are the only trees to be shown on a map at a scale of 1:4,000,000. It was knocked down by a drunk Libyan truck driver in 1973. (image)

:( What a sad story. The only tree for hundreds of kilometers and the drunk driver just had to hit it. Shame, shame on...
