Tom Sawyer's Island Part 5 - Caves!

I think this is what everyone has been waiting for! Let's see where this goes....


...it goes nowhere! Could this be the old Injun Joe cave that was closed up several years ago? I tried to peek through the fence but there was a black wall behind the wooden gate. Phooey!


The view from inside the "cave".


Ok, let's go find a cave to explore...


Small, medium and large!


Ah ha!!!


My eyes needed a moment to adjust...and I loved the creepiness!


What's THIS???


Wow, this is so COOL!




We continue creeping through passageways...


...and stumble upon this.


Oh oh....


WOW....I felt like a kid again!





And all the while you hear noises, like bats and rattling chains!!!


This cave goes on and on...


I spotted this and got closer for a better look...


...and was startled when I heard a pirate address me!


Still more to explore...


I have been warned!


Will I ever find my way out???

Update! Major, thanks for reminding me about this!!! This guy startled me to death! It's a "real" body but the face is video. It's got a motion sensor because it was "dark" until I stepped up to the opening! Very cool!

Yes, while nothing more than a 'J. Depp' tie in, the caves seem to be rather cool and exciting. Very nice picture set in the dark. Well done.

These did turn out very nice, Connie! That peek-in that has a round opening in the rock with three metal bars over it...if you touch that bar of gold sitting on the other side of the metal bars, I think a skull or a head appears.

I have to say that these caves look pretty fun, even though I still miss Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn (and even Injun Joe). Is that last figure an animatronic?

Getting back into the swing of things...

Image
It's been a rough couple of days... I came back to work only to be told that I will no longer have a job as of February 1st! Ya, it was a big shocker to me, too. That being said, everything else is back to "normal" and I will begin posting on a regular basis again. Below is a little video I put together taken on my last night in Florida. There is a wonderful little town called Ocala, which I dearly love. I am providing links to two sites, one here and one here , so you can have a little information about the place. OOPS! I just realized that I had posted some of the previous video earlier in the week. Oh well.. at least this one contains new footage, LOL. Peter said I tired him how SO MUCH that I can't go back to Florida for at least two years. hee hee hee

Upside down Christmas Trees?

Image
We interrupt our Disneyland visit to bring you a few pics from Tom's Farms . Ever heard of it? Unless you live in Southern California, probably not. It's a neato keen place and I really dig it. I had not been there in 10 years so it was high time I paid them a visit. They have tons of outdoor seating and it's a great place to people watch. I had a great bacon cheeseburger and then walked off my lunch by window shopping. A life sized Santa! (And he looks a bit creepy the way he's standing there. "Hey baby.." Ever seen an upside down Christmas tree? Me either! I decided to take pictures of all the trees... Look! Another upside down Christmas tree. Here's a twist - HALF of an upside down Christmas tree hung on the wall! I kinda like it. These are ginormous ornaments hanging from the ceiling. I'm already planning a return trip to Tom's Farms. I've always wanted a sleigh bed. Ain't he cute??? There is a big can...

Disneyland Trash Cans

Image
Yes Folks, trash cans! Do you know where these two beauties are? You'll find them as soon as you come through the gates at Disneyland. This should be easy to figure out - Adventureland! How about these? Hmmm??? New Orleans Square! Here's a trick question: Which two lands share the same style of trash can??? You can find these two in Frontierland. Now we're in Fantasyland. Still in Fantasyland but wait!!! The area around It's A Small World has it's very own trash can theme! Tomorrowland!!! OK all you hot shots... WHERE is this MYSTERY trash can???? Do these look familiar? They should. Critter Country has the same theme as Frontierland. I know what you're thinking...you're thinking that I've already posted these and I'm trying to trick you. HA! I have not already posted these! If you look closely, these differ slightly from the trash cans in New Orleans Square. THESE are in the area next to the Haunted ...
