Well, I failed to picture an image for the description "A great Bay arch across the dirt...reaching for sun...". A search for "bay arch" images led me to the pic:
Does it match what the author described? For it indeed "touching the ground on the other side."
Thanks in advance

It is so quiet here, as though the trees are sucking up so much sound that anything that can get through them has a crystalline quality.
A great Bay arch across the dirt was our last stop on the way. It was in full curvy stretch, arched all the way over our path, reaching for sun, and touching the ground on the other side. I wondered if it would snake along on top of the duff, always following the light.
