I can recall two notable treehouses that we built.

One had about 6 different levels going up higher into the tree. Each level was smaller than the last. The bottom level could hold 6 people. The top could barely fit one. The tree was on a steep hill and to get into it you took this huge rope, walked up the hill and had to swing into the branches and hook one with your leg. That was a good one (for treeless Southern California)

Another notable one was in my freinds backyard. He had a trampoline too. It was my bright idea to jump out of the 20' tall tree house on to the tramp. Very cool.

The problem was controlling your exit trajectory after you bounced. If you hit it wrong you would fly OFF the tramp and into the dirt.

Those were true Monkeyman days.
