When’s the last time you were in a treehouse?
I was 8. We lashed together a three-tier treehouse near Fort Drum. The trees are all bulldozed now. ~Chris Fisher, Beacon
I was 10. My superhero uncle built a treehouse high in an enormous oak behind his Westchester home. I’d swing on the tire and rope for hours. ~Dina Pace Shackleford, Cold Spring
I was in a treehouse this morning near Hopewell Junction! I use it for photographing raptors. ~Chris Crocco, Beacon
