In Southern Oregon I always heard they were called WigWam burners.

I grew up knowing them as Teepee Burners. There are good examples at Adin and Willow Creek, CA (SR-299 and US-395).
An interesting aside, the Paul Bunyan tales were written in Westwood, CA by a transplanted Minnesotan Logger. Some of the Timber Beasts (loggers) I grew up around still sounded like they came from Minnesota. I miss them and wish that I had recordings of their ramblings. The things you don’t appreciate in your teens and twenties and you’d give your eye teeth for now.

Raise a pint to them 🍺, they live on in you!
 
Rowling is the British Musk... and she is doing awesome!

It's amazing how the left (made up mostly of spoiled little retards who grew up on Harry Potter delusions of being able to wave wands and everything appeared before you... while breaking all the rules and getting rewarded for it... because you are a mis-understood special child) are utterly ripping her to bits at every chance.

You go JK Rowling! Your books were a fantastic WW2 metaphor. And you get history like few others. Too bad so many of your coddled readers thought it was all about being a magical fruitbat.

PS. Read all the books as an adult. Apparently got something very different out of them. Well, Animal Farm reads differently after you have seen the USSR in action. So there ya go!
I never finished the 1st book, guess I'd seen the movie too many times. But I read all the others, still have them all in hard cover.

Hell, I was at the store for the midnight release of the 7th book. Had to go to Portland for 3 days on business the next day. Finished it before I came home. :cool:

And yes, JK Rowling is a bad ass!

I have always been a book over movie person, endnote if the book was written from the screen play.

Now I have to re read these, after I finish my Tom Clancy set (ending with Debt of Honor).

I have that set too, but not all hard cover. Red Storm Rising was the 1st I read. Just re-read it during deer season last fall.

Working on Clear and Present Danger again currently.

Fuck be upon Alec Baldwin, but Red October is the best of the movies, and it's not even close.

Shut your whore mouth. Harrison ford is the only Jack Ryan. Add in Defoe as Mr. Clark, and Jones as Greer and I could barely watch the other movies. Even that wormy little shit Ritter was cast well.
You got 1 out of 3, keep that up and you'll be in the HoF!

Jones was outstanding as Adm. Greer, whom he 1st played in... Red October. ;) Harrison Ford and Willem Defoe were miscast. Harrison Ford might have been a good choice for some of the later books had they been made into movies.

That's how we used to get EverClear from the NH Liquor store in college... Just 40 miles away. Oh the jungle juice stuff we mixed up in garbage cans... Either killed ya or gave you the immune system of a Marvel Comic Hero.

Excellent memories. I think. So I am told. Well, I remember the driving part.
