When trees fall, their branches are collected by the mysterious participants of the Fellowship of the Stick Fort. We arrived in the grove, not knowing who had begun the work. Eagle and I felt compelled to add sticks and branches of our own. Oaks donated their cast offs to our endeavor.


The stick fort is in mushroom grove that I wrote about earlier this week.

The sun was getting low in the sky, it was time to meander back to our vehicle.

Thank you for a beautiful day.

So glad you could hike with us! ¡Olé! –Rebecca

That Stick Fort is a splendid hideaway for bugs and beasties.

I’m so glad you and Eagle added to the stick fort. I would definitely have done the same. Robert and I often like to add stones and rocks to totems we find on our various trips.

What a lovely mystery, Rebecca. I love the Fellowship of the Stick Fort – an anonymous community of like-minded spirits. We had a similar experience when we lived at the beach on St. Simons Island. We called it the Totem of the Beach Clan – a huge piece of driftwood that was mysteriously decorated for every season. Beautiful photos. ~Terri

My grandkids can’t resist adding sticks to these mystery forts or wigwams either. I love the whole idea!
