    We all here love trees obviously. We heat with them, we build stuff outta them, we enjoy their beauty and the shade they provide us and the oxygen they put forth for us to breath. BUT! This was on my local news station tonight.

    I'm not sure but I think I really messed up when I didnt invest in the "Pet Rock" craze years ago.

    They would be more at peace if they cut those trees down:saw:, bucked and split 'em:axe:, stacked it all up:stacke:, meditated for the proper length of seasoning time, then chucked some in the stove:campfire:....

    But, they may not necessarily need to join here, because that be like :startled::bug::jaw::hair::loco: :crazy:

    The sad part of it is that I think folks are actually paying to go on such walk a bouts for 2 hous at a time. I am missing out on some beer money here I think. But it looks more like a snipe hunt to me.:D

    They still have a season for those? I thought they were on the endangered list.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess but I would rather come across a Sasquatch that could help me hunt and gather and strong enough to carry far wood to my truck.:D

    Looks like something tourists would pay big bucks to do in Sedona.

    Little known fact. If you water a tree with unicorn tears it will grow $100 bills for leaves.

    As you can imagine Butcher, the Des Moines area has it's fair share of these folks. "Normal" people call this "going for a walk" or "hiking" and don't need guided tours with strangers or the attention of a TV station reporter to accomplish it. Someone will figure out a way to monetize this somehow, and it won't be me.

    That moment they realize they have people walking in front of them making noise and ruining the view. "Coulda done this better and for free on my own!" :Doh!:

    If people will pay $10,000 to kill a deer that lives in a high fence pen, I guarantee some hippie will find people that will pay for this "experience" too.
