2011 On Location Tour

We finally left Cory's on Saturday evening to go meet Adler at his Saw Mill out in the back and beyond. Earlier that day we were in the local Ace Hardware store picking up a fitting for a leaking pipe we had on the Rig, Matt spotted some photographs on the wall of some amazing Cypress plank cut from very large trees. After asking the clerk for a contact number and calling we left a message not really expecting a call back on the Saturday! The owner Adler called back around 5.00pm and we arranged to meet at 7.30 on site at the address he gave me which appeared to be on our way North! So off we went on another adventure!



After driving into the back and beyond woods a good ways off the highway, we arrived at Adler's home and he took us back to the saw mill! Adlee started telling us about how he pulls the Cypress trees up from the riverbed and they date back to the first cut back in the 1870's and the tree go back 1000 years! They are even older than Christopher Columbus!



Adler and Matt shooting the breeze about the very old Cypress, these trees are very old and very Cool!



A bunch of the trees cut into planks and ready for tables and bar tops, I am going to have one of these built into my new beach bar at the Skool!


The conversation got onto the RV on the water skiing and it turns out that Adler was a slalom skier back in the day! So after heading back to his house, Adler went to the basement and pulled out the old O'Brien combo's and said I'm going to donate these skis to the cause! They were gladly received and will for sure get displayed on my new beach bar and dock!


Adler washing the many years of dust of his still of fun!

Adler couldn't believe it when I put my Strada in his hand!
