Ahh, now that’s an interesting one.
I would love to climb & swing about in trees as I’m pretty much a frustrated Tarzan/stuntman lol
I was put off though as a kid when my elder brother fell & broke his arm while perched on a branch.
It was a huge pecan tree that was in my Gramp’s back yard & it was probably 60 years ago. We lived with my grandparents & any time that family or visitors were getting on my last nerve, I’d climb up that old pecan tree where I could be ALONE!!!
@lucillelucillelucille OMG, my Mom & Grams made the BEST pecan pies!!! Picking pecans gave me something to do while sitting up there & I was guaranteed a reward of a delicious pecan pie when I came back down!!! :}
@LadyMarissa -I have never had pecan pie before. reminds me of a conversation I just had @ucme -I think you need to post a video @cookieman – They are all up near the top, aren’t they? lol
I did. I can remember swinging from a branch. I even remember sitting in a tree that I had climbed. I don’t have a clue as to what age I was. Maybe 12.
@lucillelucillelucille haha kinda! No, this tree is more like a monument in this historic location. It’s one of them that sprawls across the ground forever. Easy to climb and lots of room.
July 4th. I didn’t have to go very high. A friend of mine was stringing an amateur radio antenna between a couple of pine trees in my yard and it got stuck.
Way back in the ‘80s. I just wanted to see if I still could. It was the tallest tree in my parent’s yard. Back then I was over 200 lbs and I still did it.
