And here's a nice "you are there" photo from the old Indian Village. If you're going to live in a teepee, you might as well paint it up with colorful pictograms. A few strategically placed sun-bleached animal skulls add charm and variety to any front yard! I certainly get looks from my neighbors. Jealous much? The teepee in the center has something hanging way up high... something that may or may not be a human scalp. Gruesome!
This blog has nothing to do with gorillas (though I love 'em)...fellow bloggers have inspired me to share vintage images of Disneyland from my personal collection. But don't be surprised if you see something from a World's Fair, Knott's Berry Farm, or someplace else that is cool!

Frontierland, June 1958
Today I've got two very nice Frontierland images for you! Starting with this nice vertically formatted view of the Columbia, looking majestic as always; we also get an unusual look at the loading area for the Canoes, including one of the Indian guides who knew the wilderness like teenage girls know the mall.

Nice how you compared the two pictures.

Personally, I think the hairy thing in the net is a souvenir shrunken head that once of the Indians bought over in Adventureland.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine there are too many places to keep things safe in a teepee, so putting it high in a butterfly net is as good as any.
an especially beautiful view of the proud Columbia there. the sails are very striking for some reason, even tho it is a gloomy day
ReplyDeletethe canoes look like fun, but i dont know that im up to rowing! all 3 times we have been there ive wanted to take the trip, but im not sure i could keep the pace
ill tell you, its been Christmas here all week long...thanks again :)
I can confirm that is the scalp of Paul Pressler. Oh wait, just wishful thinking...
