They're really not made any more. The Mesa Verde museum has some built by the CCC but no moving parts. Great tour.<br /><br />BTW, our campfire program at 7pm in the summer is also pretty light out, but at the same time in spring and fall it's dark.

I usually hear the fog horn for a day or two after leaving Bodega Bay :-). There are still wonderful artisans who build beautiful pieces, but unfortunately consumers want it in days and don't want to wait the months or year it might take to complete them. Perhaps another "slow down" lesson......Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-79451256106473497592014-04-16T10:31:39.292-04:002014-04-16T10:31:39.292-04:00We've stayed at Suwanee River SP but not at SF...We've stayed at Suwanee River SP but not at SF.

One of the reason we enjoy seeing old homes is for the craftsmanship which seems to be rapidly disappearing.

Didn't mean it to sound that way. It just surprised me when I got to your last pic of the campfire and saw all those people gathered around it! Maybe you were crafty with your photography, but I never saw anyone else in your pics inside the museums. I thought you all were there all by yourself! LOL!

All your earlier pics of the tours and walks make it appear as if you two are the only folks there. Probably like so many of the tourists up here in my neck of the woods.....drive through the park and never get out of the car to explore. Wonder how many of those folks at the campfire never see the gorgeous dioramas or enjoy Pat's marvelous tour?

I love the bells and we enjoyed the beautiful museum with the dioramas.<br /><br />I agree with Pam (Big Ez) that you two really, really explore each place you go to and get the most of it. There is so much to see and do at SFFCC that I know you'll have trouble seeing it all in your short stay there. I guess you'll have to come back. :)<br /><br />I may be dense, but what is DST?

I think there is a lesson here for me to slow down and explore my surroundings more deeply. We flitted right by all the museums there with no idea of the treasures we were missing. Thank you for reminding me to slow down and take time to appreciate some of the less popular attractions along the way.
