Well, It's sorta long being a whole 'nother civilization and all, but the short of it starts when I quit my job as a trucker and drove my house [an old $250 school bus] to Seattle from NC and didn't have enough money to make it back. I spent that summer in the Washington Grasslands living in the bus and peeling Ponderosa Pine logs for log cabins at $5 each..I could peel 2 a day. That bark was superglued on there! What the heck..nuthin else to do 'cept forage for wild food and eat rattlesnakes and such. It was so far out there that, if I heard a car coming, I could make and eat breakfast and have a cup of coffee before it showed up. I could wander around for weeks and not see a soul!
The next 6 years was, in a way, spent working my way back here by way of Texas, Virginia, S Carolina, Florida, Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, West Virginia and Minnisota living and traveling as a nomad in the treeple [tree people] tribe doing the Treeple Tribal Ordeal Dance [aka planting trees] 2 to 4 thousand of them a day...all winter and doing whatever the heck I felt like all summer. [Sent a whole summer fishing in Alaska] Then I discovered $20,000 under my mattress and bought 20 acres of land just as insurance companies and government regulations designed to keep me "safe and secure" made being a Treeple untenable. The land [called, "The Busranch"] turned into a retirement home and a gathering place for Treeple to organize their activities from. It's the old " Young man off to sea to seek his fortune" story, except the only water was in frozen ditches and swamps, the boat was a land yacht bus and instead of pulling an oar I wielded a hoe-dad ... and I wasn't actually "looking" for anything. ..just found a lot. :-) Ode At 03:10 PM 9/22/2003 -0700, you wrote: >Ode Coyote 9/21/03 2:47 PM Wrote: > >> I got mine by hand planting 1,000,000 trees and didn't even know they were >> there till years later. >******************************* >There MUST be an interesting story here --TELL !! > >Jack > >Be Nice > > >-- >The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver. > >Instructions for unsubscribing may be found at: http://silverlist.org > >To post, address your message to: [email protected] > >Silver-list archive: http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/index.html > >List maintainer: Mike Devour <[email protected]> > >
