Missing a smokestack?

Not so hidden behind a fence in Isletown sits, what appears to be, the smokestack from the old paddle-wheeler, "Delta King". How it ended up here, is a mystery.

The tall scraggly trees are "grey pines", which occur in the Sierra at elevations below 4000'. This picture is just down the road from us at about 3000' in elevation. It's located in an ecosystem known as California chaparral.
The storm that just passed left about 5 inches of rain in three days, so the ground is saturated. Some plants, like coyote brush, are starting to bloom now that the summer drought has broken.
