Although I wasn't there to witness this I did see the type of woods that it took place in.

I remember one of my rare swinging attempts. I fell from the tree, luckily, without any serious consequences, except that I stopped imitating the man from the jungle....Boruthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13990298332042076231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126207.post-46973850738981489982007-05-13T17:35:00.000-06:002007-05-13T17:35:00.000-06:001021.

Swinging<BR/><BR/>The boys cross<BR/>the wooded countryside,<BR/>tree to tree.<BR/><BR/>Link with 1020: Treetop.<BR/><BR/>[My Dad and his three brothers grew up on a farm. There was a lot of bush nearby where the cows would wander and graze during the day. It was the boys' job to round up the cows before night time so they would be milked. They found a good way to cover a lot of densely-covered ground quickly by climbing the slender poplars and swinging from tree to tree.]Masagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12739811491183011023noreply@blogger.com
