Jim, I didn=E2=80=99t get your original email but if it was mine I=E2=80=99d=
drill a hole into the bump to see what it is. If you get wood, it=E2=80=99s=
probably a root. If it=E2=80=99s a rock, could it be ground heave from free=
ze/thaw cycles? Living in central Texas I don=E2=80=99t have any experience w=
ith that.=20
Peace,
Pat
