  • Out'n'About Treesort
    The world's largest concentration of <a href="http://inhabitat.com/treehouses/">treehouses</a> is found in Cave Junction, Oregon, where builder Michael Garnier has built a treetop metropolis at the <a href="http://www.treehouses.com/index.cfm">Out'n'About Treehouse Treesort</a>. "I think it fits in with the state of Oregon perfectly," says Garnier in a video produced by <a href="http://youtu.be/K7aVLMZvNEQ">FairCompanies</a>. "That's part of what this environment is, it's part of what Oregon is -- it's tree-ific, it's tree-mendous."
