The Bubba Effect
Grandmaster
This past weekend I went mushroom hunting with my brother in Morgan Monroe State Forest. As I parked along Gose Creek Road (or goose creek rd?), above Deadman's Hollow, my brother pointed out that there were several trees along the road marked in purple by where we were parking. He said that in lots of places, purple paint on a tree serves as a "No Trespassing" sign and he was fairly adamant about it. I knew we were in the state forest, so I voted to ignore the painted trees and went mushroom hunting. We did not find many, but it was a nice day for a walk in the woods.
Anyone have any idea what the purple rings painted on the trees in Morgan Monroe signify? I did not see any painted trees in the woods, but there are lots of trees tagged with metal tags, I assume part of a timber survey or study, as we ran into a guy from purdue one day doing that kind of work in there. The purple thing kind of got me though, as I looked it up and apparently in several states that would serve as a "no trespassing" sign, but we were definitely smack dab in the state forest.
Anyone know what gives?
