Bug or Feature?

From House footprint

We discovered this at the land earlier this week. This used to be a dead tree trunk leaning against some nearby trees, but the top was chopped off during the clearing (just below the bottom of the frame of this picture), and now it's a perfect log bridge across a 15-foot-deep crevasse maybe 20 feet from the back door of the house. On the one hand, now we have a handy bridge to explore the rest of the property, but on the other hand, we'll have a little kid running loose on this land within a few years, and I can't help thinking of Bridge to Terabithia. We're talking about doing something like run a rope above the log as a handrail, but this could just make it that much more attractive.

In other news, the house footprint has been flagged, and digging has started on the foundation, but it looks like we're losing one more tree (a small Hemlock). There are more pictures at the link above.
