I walk around my neighborhood several times a week and I caught site of something I hadn't seen in almost 30 years. A "tree" house. It wasn't actually built in a tree, but on four stands. I remember we built this in about 1978. The floor was a bit over 7' tall so when I was 8 years old, this was tall. Had screened windows and everything.
This thing is still standing. We played in this for several years after construction. It was cool as hail to see it still up. I didn't get a chance to get inside yet but here is the outside of it. It sits right at a creek. Just down the creek is the "tunnel" where the creek goes under the road. It's so big that we could ride out bikes through it with no trouble. The other side dropped into about a 3' deep water. SO then it was nothing to ride off into it.
Good to see somethings haven't changed. Later, QD.
