Lo...Nanook, these are particularly nice, I concur!<br /><br />Lou and Sue, it’s amazing how close the river water is to the top of that canoe - it makes me nervous, 40 years later! I can’t give the MB a hug, he’s too far away. On another planet? Perhaps.<br /><br />TokyoMagic!, please tell me you had to look up Fake Jan’s real name! I would be extra-impressed if you just knew it was “Geri Reischl” off the top of your head. You’re right, those people on deck 2 don’t seem to belong there, I wonder what was going on.<br /><br />Penna. Andrew, these photos do have a particularly golden cast to them, almost as if they’d been dipped in honey; it really imparts a cozy nostalgic feeling.<br /><br />Scott Lane, for 20 points, which Dwarf is it??<br /><br />Scott Lane, you’re welcome, glad you enjoyed these.<br /><br />Gnometrek, I would like to believe that the birds of paradise <i>wanted</i> to go back to the Enchanted Tiki Room. It’s where they were happiest.<br /><br />Stu29573, I think the “you are here” quality is thanks to these all being taken by a professional photographer, they make everything feel so “within reach”, instead of far away and inaccessible. I’ve often thought that the Mark Twain resembles the skeleton of some giant creature!<br /><br />Jonathan, Disneyland on ‘shrooms must be an interesting experience. I wouldn’t know because I’m a good boy! But my best buddy has loads of stories of doing things on mushrooms, I admit that it sounds intriguing! “The trees were breathing!”, and such.<br /><br />Tom, that fourth pic is a beauty, I only wish it wasn’t so dark; as it is I had to lighten it way up to get it to this point!<br /><br />KS, for sure, the 70’s were definitely still part of that “Golden Zone”; and I think that moved into the 80’s. Not sure if the Eisner era is when things started to go downhill for CMs in general. “These employees have it too good! They’re enjoying their jobs too much!”.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-38974698612944999562019-10-03T09:04:50.453-07:002019-10-03T09:04:50.453-07:00A real trip down memory lane for me.

I certainly dressed tastefully. Thanks to Major and MB. Now if you will excuse me, I am going to put on my Nudie suit and head out to the market.

Also, those flowers outside the entrance to Frontierlad give the area a "mild west" look, which is refreshing.

Or maybe since this is the late seventies, she's channeling "Fake Jan" (Geri Reischl).<br /><br />It's odd that the Mark Twain has those Mickey Mouse vest-wearing performers on the first and third decks, but then on the second deck, there are at least a couple performers who appear to be just wearing street clothes.<br /><br />Thanks to M.B. and the Major!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-40041076059188160632019-10-03T00:07:01.606-07:002019-10-03T00:07:01.606-07:00That canoe is really laying low!
