Welcome to Frontierland! It’s a blazing start to this 2-parter with this shot of the Burning Cabin. Naturally, because I'm a sicko, I’ve included a closeup of the arrow right through the settler’s chest!
You’re probably wondering what was making these little kids so cranky; well, this photo explains it all. They finally got their box of Disneyland popcorn, and now all is well with the world. They seem to be having a ton-o-fun up in the Tom Sawyer Island Tree House.

A few other things you can see from the Twain as you journey around the Rivers of America include The Old Mill & The Columbia docked at Fowler’s Harbor:

good good set thanks

This has been an awesome series, Dave!
