Back in the day, Chris Shea, Adam Lamb, Austin Moening and I built a 4-story tree fort in the fields by my backyard. It started as a 1-story fort but we could not resist the urge to continue to build higher on the perfectly-suited tree. It was a majestic thing with a superfluance of nails.
The first level was enclosed in plywood and the second and third levels were just floors made of 2 x 4s. The fourth floor was more like a ceiling or roof. There were no guard rails on the fourth floor and it was very high up and kind of scary. It was one of the triumphant accomplishments of my youth. Me and Shea hung out there a lot--and yet--I don't have a single picture to prove it.
Update: I found a picture of us on the fort but it is at night and all you can see is a 2x4. I was talking with Chris the other day and he said that my aunt took a picture of us all on the fort. I will have to search my parents' albums for that photo. Dave, when can I borrow that document feed scanner?
