Stop what? She obviously wasn’t a chicken about heights.And, anyone who says she was is certainly "barking up the wrong tree."

Joan Baez had a treehouse built -- without walls -- 20 feet high in an oak tree behind her Woodside home That's because she was unwilling to put the time and energy and money into doing the job right.
