I miss the east coast autumns.

Why don't you call them and ask how to stop shitting in threads?

A tree farm is not a forest.
Maybe you can do a little bit of research after you stop hugging your trees.

So what do the trees say when they talk to you Mark?
“Ouch that squirrel is biting my nuts”
“I wish that bear would poop on my roots”
“Someone scratch my branch the ants are making it itchy”

@ Deuxdiesel
,
1) Post a pic that meets the current challenge. 
2) Issue a new challenge. 
Everyone else, I'm impressed with all of the tree knowledge by the way. I have bunches of trees and almost 4 years of post-grad studies in Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries. The tree/forest projects were interesting. BUT THIS THREAD AIN'T ABOUT THAT.

Oh crap, I am sorry. I did not realize it was up to me to continue it.
Post a pic of your 4Runner in front of a major sports arena.

Well, I guess I'll reset, I passed this landmark today and couldn't resist taking some photos.
Wisconsin Historical Markers: Ship Rock
Next challenge: a photo of your 4Runner next to a Bronco.

Good one. Too bad about the a*holes and graffiti. It’s happening everywhere there’s easy access.

Thanks for the reset and that is a cool landmark. Too bad it also shows why we can't have nice things anymore.

Why not? We’re in the new normal.
I’ve been searching the few places I’ve seen old Broncos but no luck.
Let’s see it, then you can issue a new challenge.

I am acquainted with a guy who collects and restores old Broncos but of course every time I have driven by his shop since that challenge was posted he's nowhere to be found and it's locked up tight.
