Here's some pictures from the hike I took today! Brrr!!

There's wooden bridges for a fair bit of the trail... here's a picture of the stairs:



Some of the native cabins:



A maze, which was used by the natives to keep away intruders:



And a view of the maze from the bottom looking up:



I have more pics if any of you are interested. I just felt like posting some today...
It was beautiful out there. These photos don't neccessarily do it justice because I am just learning how to use the digital camera.

Yes, it's a very nice place. We like to take our dog in the summer. I like it because they have a lot of neat things... the native cabins, the maze, the longhouses. You can actually go in the longhouses and they have dried corn hanging from the ceiling, and fire pits. It's rarely crowded and all they ask for is a donation of $3 per person. There's picnic tables and even places to barbeque.

Longhouses...





And inside one of the longhouses. Dried corn on the ceiling and snowshoes on the railing. (You can't see it very well but there are platforms on either side with railings. I'd assume they'd be for sleeping, because many families lived in these dwellings).:

I've never been there. There's lots of places I want to check out this summer...I'll finally have my driver's license and be able to go where I want when I want.

Try www.epinions.com . You can sort by brand, number of pixels, or (what I did) price. People go there and review products they bought, so if it's crappy, you'll know (the phone I would have bought after my old cordless died apparently has a problem with the base dying... so I read reviews of others and bought the one people had the least problems with). Not only that, but epinions does searches of online stores to find prices of that particular product, so you can find the lowest price online(or sales at stores that have sites). Also, www.amazon.com is a good place to read reviews of products.

Mine is an HP PhotoSmart 320. It's not top of the line but it's good enough for my purposes!
