TAKE PICTURE OF OLD FORT HERE

In the summer of 2019, two 5-year old friends built a fort! One of the friends was Jackson.

PUT PICTURE OF THE FOREST

Their fort was terrible and very far away from the trail, so they tore it down and decided to make a new one somewhere else.

PUT IMAGE OF CREEK BRIDGE HERE

They built it on the trail so they can find the path that leads out of the forest. Along the trail, you can walk across an old bridge! 

Over the years, the other friend moved away. More people began noticing the fort, and built their own versions of it, too! Someone even took a picture of it and put it on the reviews (As shown here)!  Jackson did not move on, he kept expanding the fort by himself. 

People that built their own forts had spotted Jackson working on the original fort one day, and they decided to be rivals! The rivals stole sticks from Jackson's fort, and Jackson stole sticks from theirs. But eventually, the rivals moved on, they didn't care about their fort anymore. Which was a victory for Jackson!

FREE

(Not the actual chairs)

One day, he noticed two chairs that said "Free" on them, so his dad put them in their truck, they drove to the park, and then with a little work, Jackson carried the chairs into the forest. He planned to put them in his fort, because originally, you had to sit on a wooden log, but now the wooden log could be the table instead!  

The fort was very comfy now, Jackson even ate a couple of snacks in there! The fort had been like that for about 3 days before Jackson got ANOTHER idea!
