Bamboo. . .

Did you ever wonder where your, or your friend's, bamboo floors come from? Probably not here, but still this is bamboo. There are quite a few bamboo stands on the trail to the waterfall and they can grow up to 50-plus feet high. I'm sure that all three of you know that bamboo is not an actual tree, but part of the grass family. The inside is hollow, and when one of these buggers fall across the trail we have to head down with a machete to cut up the pieces to clear the way. Of course, being hollow, snakes really like to hang out inside of fallen bamboo, which always makes things interesting. Did I mention we take machetes with us?
