Welcome to Tom Sawyer Island, circa September 1969! Our first shot was taken aboard the Mark Twain and shows The Old Mill, the raft to the Island, and the Fishing Pier. Yes, you once were able to catch fish at Disneyland. Below, Apple-Skirt Girl is posing next to the Three Falls and steps to the Treehouse.
Not to be outdone, her brother poses for the same shot. Dad did a better job this time, capturing more of the Three Falls this time. Practice makes perfect!
The fam finally made it to the Treehouse.
A detail of the Tom + Becky carved detail, mentioned in a previous post:
Now you can see that Tom and Huck's Tree House was made from boxes that contained oderless (sp) feathers for pillow stuffing.
Dad handed the camera over to Mom for a shot by the Old Mill.
Just in case you wanted to read the sign and learn something. Edutainment.
Time to brave Injun Joe’s Cave! Who knows what dangers lurk inside those dark caverns?
Mom was not going to let go of the Tom Sawyer Island brochure. No way she was going to get lost on the Island. Nice ring, too! That must have set Dad back a pretty penny.
A rare interior shot of the caves. Thank goodness for flash bulbs!
Final one for today shows the fam (minus Dad who took the photo) on top of Teeter-Totter Rock:
