2/3/2005: Sign-swallowing trees

[lookout123]

i saw something like this in my parents yard when they were selling the house 2 years ago. as a kid i built the inevitable treehouses and tied ropes around some branches. i even built a most excellent rope bridge between two of the larger trees. that was all about 20 years ago. the ropes decayed and fell away, most of the treehouses were scrapped, but walking around memory lane i came upon their remains. the ropes from the rope bridge were still visible in some spots on the trees - the tree had grown around the rope and preserved it. the same had happened with some 2x4's from the tree house remains.

thanks for triggering the memories UT.
