Minister's Treehouse (Abandoned Church/World's Largest Treehouse)

I took these photos of the Minister's Treehouse in East Tennesee. I figured they're good first-post-on-UER material.

A bit of a backstory for those who don't know or like a little reading:

Horace Burgess, a local minister, claimed God told him through a vision, "If you build a tree house, I'll see that you never run out of material."
Burgess began building the treehouse in 1993, and as of 2013, the treehouse stood at ninety-seven feet tall. It relies on an eighty-foot tall white oak tree (twelve feet in diameter), and other smaller oaks for support.
The treehouse served as a church and a tourist attraction until 2012, when the state had to close off access due to it not following fire safety codes.

Crazy to see something on here that's very close to me. I went here before it was shut down, but it looks like I may need to pay it another visit...

Nice post and shots! Welcome to UER!

Hey fellas, here's a cool idea: don't go hunt someone's Instagram down if they don't post it.
