Tuesday the ironic tree house in Crossville TreeHouse burned to the ground in 15 minutes, I took many a ride to this place along with many VRCC members thru out the years. The place was a marvel in it self, stairways,  church, garden, it was a great place to see.

the Fall Color Ride...

The city condemned it a while back and the property it was on was sold about a year ago.

Two weeks before it (was) burned, the city said it was to be torn down to run a water (or gas, not sure) main through the property. Protest and petitions from the community resulted in the reversal of the decision to destroy the landmark.

As I said, two weeks later it burned to the ground. The local paper said there will be no investigation as to the cause of the fire. Twas a beautiful night, no lightning, no wind, no electricity near the scene.

Hmm, must have been one of those "Acts of God" things, ya think?
