Atthetime,thetree was noted as being at least 50 years of age, and well established The tree is is located near the site of the old rusty bridge on FM 2854, where Bonnie and Clyde would visit his cousin Dude Barrow The relative was an upstanding citizenofConroe,whichis why the Barrow Gang never robbed any banks in the area. The last visit of Bonnie and Clyde to the bridge happened several weeks before the couple met their end in Gibsland, LouisianainMay1934.

In a pre-Elon time the Socialist media would have stamped out the story But with the legacy media at its lowest trust point in its history, all it takes is for a few independent media types to go in and set the storystraight.

It doesn’t take much to verify the claims of cats, geeseandducksbeingeaten in Springfield. Now, I like duck breast myself, but my duck comes from a farm in Indiana, not from Ohio ponds.
