Saddle Tree


Through the entrance of The Inflatable Studio you can see the tree that the arch of the door came from. As a kid I called the tree "The Saddle Tree" as the arch of the door was a limb that reach 20 feet out from the trunk. When this archway was a living part of the tree it was inverted as it appears now. You could ride the limb like a hobby horse. Three generations of Vollrath's climbed the tree and played on the limb. I'm going to be a grandfather twice over this year so in a way I've preserved it for another generation. The limb was cut down for safety concerns.
