More Frontierland Scans
I have another selection of Frontierland scans for you, courtesy of the Mysterious Benefactor! Four of these are "rafty", but not "ratty".
While most of us went to school aboard river rafts, the kids in this picture had probably never been on a raft before. Some fun, and they're not going to school either! It might be my imagination, but the girl to the left is already showing signs of scurvy.
This young lad has the same haircut as I do! Though his mom has to use a smaller cereal bowl as a guide. He's peering down into the depths, imagining that he sees the shadow of a huge leviathan gliding below.
So much for the photographer keeping a low profile, everybody is on to him. The girl with the red skirt is sick of being followed by the paparazzi, and can you blame her? I love her Farrah Fawcett hair.
This one is "souvenir guide book worthy", it's colorful and well-composed. The raft doesn't appear to be moving, but we're supposed to think that the raft pilot is indicating nearby points of interest ("Yonder is a nest of cottonmouths!"). But they don't fool me! The boy with the yellow hat in the lower left looks like he's stepped out of a Norman Rockwell painting.
One of these photos is not like the others! I decided to add this last view just to confuse the FBI. "What is he doing now? Call the Director, pronto!". We've moved to Fort Wilderness on Tom Sawyer Island; these two kids are having way too much fun. It's a good thing they're not on my lawn, because I'd give them an earful!
THANK YOU, Mysterious Benefactor!

Major-
What a fine collection of images depicting a fine collection of cute kids-! And as you pointed out, that youngster with the red hair and hat askew could easily have been in a Norman Rockwell painting.
Thanks to the M B and the Major. (Scurvy, indeed-!)
Strange that the official photographer took pictures of little kids doing nothing in particular. I guess he just wanted some photos of kids doing kid stuff.
Three(3) people are smiling in the third photo. The rest have gazes that could kill, especially Farrah.
Don't let the bright colors and the Norman Rockwell kid fool you. That red-shirted Ferryman is guiding these souls across the River Styx.
There's another Mark Twain pic loaded with tons of CMs and their friends and families.
Yep, I think the FBI will be totally befuddled by the last pic... me too. Not a picture you would want to write home about. I wonder if this was a different photographer than the one whose photos we usually see? They seem... different.
Thanks, Major and MB.
