Recently I have has more fun attempting to get discs that are stuck in a tree down that you could ever want to have.
Last weekend I was playing with my roomate who is just learning to play and he got his disc stuck at the top of a tree. I started by trying to climb to get a better shot at the disc, but this proved futile as the disc really was stuck at the top of the tree. We then began throwing my water bottle, a Nalgene full of water. After several attempts we managed to get that stuck up there too. My roomate then went to his truck and pulled out a few wrenches. Hey, if you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball. Two of the wrenches got stuck up in the tree. Finally he decided to go home and get a bunch of his old baseballs for us to use. While he did this I finished my round. By the time I made it back to the tree he had gotten the disc and my water bottle down, but not before getting one of the baseballs stuck up there as well. He was able to get the baseball back and then the two wrenches finally made there way back down as well.
While that first story by far takes the cake, I was playing today when low and behold I got a disc stuck up in a tree. Throwing my water bottle seemed to be close to working until it got stuck up there. I was able to find a pine cone and got close on several attempts before that got stuck up there as well. I called my roomate to have him come and help me out but much to my amazement and with great thankfulness to the wind from the oncoming storm, my disc fell out of the tree. I finished my round and then went back to wait by the tree until my roomate could come or the wind would blow my waterbottle out as well. About 15 minutes later the wind gusted and out came my waterbottle. Whew.
Any other good tree stories? And what in the world lives up in the trees that keeps taking all my things? I was thinking about attempting to train a squirrel to climb the tree to get my stuff but I am sure an epic battle would ensue between the squirrel and whatever it is that is up there collecting things.
