A visit home to Riverside for Thanksgiving resulted in an "explore" of a local treehouse! This is no ordinary treehouse but a multi-tiered fortress that resembled something reminiscent of the elven dwellings in Lord of the Rings...designed by local boys who apparently don't spend time watching TV and rather enjoy exploring play the way it was meant to.

Hanging out on a platform just below the highest point!
A shot meant to give perspective of the height of the mighty elm!
Looking down to see the different platform levels.
That's me and my daughter Chelsea below.
