A Real Thong Tree

Not long ago, Pablo wrote about possible Thong Trees at his properties. I had never heard of such a thing, although that is understandable as I believe there may be other things I don't know...yet.
According to Pablo, the first people in the area used leather thongs to force a tree to lean in a certain direction. This was for the purpose of marking trails. A young tree would be staked into the desired postion and held there by the thongs until it grew into that position.The bent tree would then act as a living sign post pointing the way to go. How elegant and clever.
I am happy to announce that I have found evidence of this same activity on my property. I came across this Thong Tree while walking the northwest corner of my woodland. As you can see in the picture, a young oak has been thonged to mark some kind of trail.
Later today, after I get home from work, I will post the Girdle Tree I found.

You know I have to admit to looking around for thong trees the last time we walked around here... but I sure didn't find any that looked like that!!!
(If I did I'd be afraid to go any further...)
Rurality,
True, sometimes you just need to turn around and beat feet. This was a bit of a joke though, it's safe.
DPR,
Oh no, Thong You very much.
Thing,
Sit down and take a deep breath. It was just a joke. This is the first and only time that little patch of undies will ever be used for anything. I was just having some fun with the PABLO.
I think I rattled you...
...and then the silk stockings tree, and the bra tree....
Hoss,
Now, now...
Showing my naivete, I did not know what it was I was looking at in this photo.
Pablo,
That's probably a good thing...
DPR,
They were payback from a friend for a joke I made. I didn't know what to do with them and then...THONG! It hit me like an elastic band...
Thing,
Not to worry mon, we have all probably found ...unusual things in the woods.
I was in the dark with Pablo. Not any more. Boy, I love these educational sites.
Heh!
Wait a minute. That last comment did not come out like I intended (blushes profusely). I meant that I did not know what that thing was until Thingfish enlightened me.
Apologies to Pablo.
Hick,
That's as risque as it'll get on this site.
...at least it was empty.
Heh!
We do not want ot know whose thong that is! No way!
Heheheee!
