For telephone modem users with old computers (like me), this thread takes a long time to load.

If you want to view it later, "minimize (-)" this page , and "left-click" open a new window to continue "surfing the Net".

It's been 20 minutes, and there are still more photos to go. From what I've seen so far, mcdude is turning this into a "girlie site!"

Seriously, I'm wondering if:

1) that Civil War statue is still there
2) The "Lady of the Lake" steamer appears immense in the Weirs-1880 image. But in the "Weirs Landing" image, a steamer appears puny. "PhotoShop1880"?

3) What make and model of floatplane is pictured -- with that huge radial engine and prop. (With "The Mount" in the background, it shan't be a Cessna 190 -- but it looks close).

BTW: "G.A.R." stands for "Grand Army of the Republic". I'm impressed by the way those Veterans were organized and treated.



Holy Moly! Those muskets look REAL!

(But they don't appear Civil War-contemporary -- they look like Springfield model 1884).

'Bet they're not there today.
