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 1969
Here are two nice-but-not-exciting photos from 1969 Frontierland. To be honest, I almost relegated these to a Snoozle Sunday, but had a change of heart at the last minute. "Give 'em a chance! Let 'em show you what they got!".
We're looking at a Canoe through the sedges ("Sedges have edges, but rushes are round", says my theoretically-knowledgeable friend - though maybe they are something else entirely. Possibly pine trees?). In 1969, the Canoe CMs would motivate the guests through fear and insults, and boy-oh-boy did it ever work! I'm kind of supposed that this canoe in the photo is not producing a "rooster tail" of spray.
