Houghton's Pond

platialUser:tracy_the_astonishing — 2006-07-03 21:11:53.349355+00:00

Twenty-four acres in size and up to 42 feet in depth, Houghtons Pond is a spring-fed kettle hole pond formed by receding glaciers approximately 10,000 years ago. The Massachuseck Indians fished the pond and hunted the surrounding lands. From the colonial period through the late 1800's, several generations of the Houghton family farmed the area. The swimming area is supervised by DCR lifeguards from late June through Labor Day, 7 days a week. The beach has a handicapped accessible ramp which leads to the water. All park visitors must follow the directions of the lifeguard staff at all times. Failure to do so will result in removal from the park.

Hansen's Farm Fresh Dairy

platialUser:glenntx — 2009-04-14 08:49:51.222701+00:00

This is a great place to take small kids to learn about a dairy and see how it works. The full tour is only $5.00 for everyone 4 and up, free for kids under 4. With the full tour you get to not only see how it all works and runs, but also you get to milk a cow, feed a baby cow and make butter the hard, old fashioned way. My girls LOVED IT!

Where I grew up

platialUser:tsvlasuk — 2006-10-16 12:12:14.54389+00:00

This is the house where I lived until I was 16. My sister and I shared a bedroom that I didn't realize was small until I lived somewhere else. My best friend Christy lived next door, and we spent countless hours of our childhood climbing the big maple tree (now cut down), playing in the fort in our yard (also gone), and riding our bikes all over the neighborhood. My mother started sending me on errands to the store down the hill when I was about 7. It was an older neighborhood even at the time, with friendly older neighbors in the houses around us. This is still one of my favorite streets in the city in the spring; the streets are lined with 50-year old ornamental cherry trees that burst into pink, fluffy bloom in mid-March.

A really nice, family owned Chinese restaurant that's been in Seattle for ever. We went last night for a quick bite on the way home. We had Wu Tau Kau Yoch, which is Taro and Pork Belly (no, not the stomach). It's served as a casserole and is one of my personal comfort foods. We also had Yue Heung Kei Tse, which is chinese eggplant, shredded pork in a spicy sweet sauce. Also a good winter dish.

If visit, do your part to keep it that way by respecting the boundary signs and covering up if you're going beyond them. Cautions: Nudity bans are enforced on the south end in the city-owned portion of Black's Beach ($135 fine) Shuffle your feet in the water to avoid stingray injury

Gigi's "Drive The Bus" World Music & Festival Sept 2008!

platialUser:gigidelugo — 2008-06-11 08:48:55.494624+00:00

First Annual "Drive The Bus" World Music & Festival - produced by Gigi, Tropic Heat Studios and StormFront Records, Storm Front Music, BMI ~ one Island woman's vision. "I'm a 4th generation Virgin Islander - homesick. Our culture is..diverse and united at once - everyone's on the same rock - so we create celebrations that bring the flavor of each and every culture to the table - dancing, music, cultural exhibits, vendors, adults, children, a few donkeys too and chickens, goats :-) If it rains, there's usually a rainbow. If it pours, we thank God for the rainwater that fills our wells/cisterns and nourishes the fruit and flowers of our island. And we dance in the rain. In honor of the spirit of cultural diversity that allows all of us to express and experience the adventure that life on this planet were meant to be...I'm throwing a party. My kind of party - a peace party, a family and friends party, a come and meet us party....relax, chill-out, laugh, dance, or just sit and watch the shows and meet....new friends. Welcome to my new home...Chattanooga ~ the best of all worlds I have seen along the way, the place I've chosen - not just because of the beauty of this place - but mostly, because of the beauty of the people here. A place I like to say, "has hope"...I found it here, and I rediscover it daily......here. And I expect you will too - Your "Drive The Bus" (Be a Leader) hostess, Gigi

Mushroom Walk

platialUser:tracy_the_astonishing — 2006-09-04 16:40:56.036098+00:00

Our new Fall resolution is that we will go to the Fells for a walk every Sunday, no matter what the weather. It was a grey and rainy day yesterday, and a good test of our resolve. Erik made us breakfast and helped herd us out. Since it is prime shrooming season, we decided to start educating ourselves about fungus, and picked several varieties of mushroom to bring home and identify. There is really an amazing variety of mushrooms out there in the fells. Unfortunately, at one point in our off-path hunting, we disturbed a nest of yellow jackets and were attacked by the aggressive little devils. Erik was stung first and while we were standing there trying to figure out what had stung him, Vigo was stung on the back. We quickly walked back to the path, where Sam was stung. Then I saw one of the miniscule pests on Vigo's belt, trying to sting him again. I swatted him and moved everyone quickly up the path farther. I was lucky not to be stung, mostly beacuse I was wearing a long leather coat. Apparently the yellow jacket sting is wickidly painful. Vigo was brave about it, but then after we got out of the woods at the end of our walk he ended up getting stung once more by a bug that had crawled into the sleave of his rain jacket. He's a little wary of going back to the Fells at all now, but I'm sure he'll get over it. After our walk in the woods, we dropped Vigo off for a playdate to make stop-action Bionicle movies with Jonah, while Erik and I went to the bookstore to look for a field guide. We found two guides and after a lot of comparing the pros and the cons we settled on the Audubon Society guide. We're hoping our friends Brian and Aaron will be into fungus study, too, and will get another guide for cross-reference. We used the book to find good candidates and the internet for better confirmation. Of all of the mushrooms we found, we were able to identify three with some confidence, and one was a choice edible! Gem Studded Puffball lycoperdon perlatum The two mushrooms on the left are gem-studded puffballs. The smooth-surfaced one on the right is an unidentified pufffball whose flesh was yellowish rather than white. This little mushroom was fairly abundant on our walk. These are about 2-3 inches high. From our field guide: "This species is easy to recognize. It is a choice edible if, when cut in half, it has undifferentiated white flesh." It can be confused with the pear-shaped puffball, which is also a choice edible. We tried a half of one each this morning and they were delicious. Viscid Violet Cort cortinarius iodes This mushroom was all over the place, and really beautiful and slimy in the rain. There are good edible blue mushrooms, but this is not one of them. They are not poisonous, but our guide book says "they look better than they taste." Emetic Russula russula emetica This is the last of the mushrooms of which we felt confident in our identification. As it's name suggests, it is not to be eaten. ("Emetic" means "induces nausea and vomiting.") Here are the other mushrooms we picked and tried to identify, along with our guesses as to what they might be. probably Painted Suillus suillus pictus The painted suillus is a good edible and this is very likely what this is, but we aren't going to try tasting it until we have full confidence in the identification. We aren't sure that the big mushroom is the larger version of the smaller one, either. Suillus pictus grows only under Eastern White Pine trees, five-needle pines. That will be a help in confirming the identification next time. probably melanoleuca melaleuca maybe some kind of trich Probably poisonous.

Mushroom Hunting with a Camera

platialUser:tracy_the_astonishing — 2006-09-22 09:32:36.944941+00:00

We went back for another walk on Monday (Labor Day). This was partly to help Vigo get over his fear of yellow jackets in the Fells and partly to try to get pictures of the mushrooms in situ. We're taking care of Brian and Aaron's cats this week while they're up in Maine, so it only makes sense to get in a little hike while we're up there. One thing we did was to write the names of the three mushrooms we had positively identified on popsicle sticks so we could look for them again and mark them along the trail. That was fun. We hadn't brought a basket or bag, so we didn't collect any mushrooms. I don't want to try to identify new mushrooms without having them on hand to examine, but here are the pictures we took of some of the fungus of the Fells. Most of the pictures we took didn't turn out. They were all taken with the micro setting on and with a flash. Some kind of Amanita We thought maybe this was the famous death cap, and maybe it is, but we couldn't really get a positive identification of it. At any rate, it is definitely some kind of amanita and it is wise not to eat any amanita, just to be on the safe side. Painted Suillus These aren't mushrooms, but they are pretty neat.

Casey's Amusement Park

platialUser:alexandriasbest — 2009-07-22 16:16:43.097976+00:00

When I think of fun for the entire family, I immediately think of Casey’s Amusement Park! With three great go-kart tracks, bumper boats, batting cages, mini-golf, and an arcade; there is something here for everyone regardless of their age or fitness level! The owner is a man of good business and has always been courteous and fair. At Casey’s, there’s no need to worry about your kid(s) hearing cuss words or being exposed to inappropriate sexual content. Any misbehavior can be reported to Todd (the owner), who will promptly address it. Some may argue that the prices are steep ($5/ride ticket); Todd’s prices ensure not only the survival and upkeep of the amusement park, but future improvements and upgrades. The newest addition was the upgrade from the old water balloon “war zone” to the new “Castle Clash” water gun area. If you’re in Alexandria, Minnesota; make sure to stop by for some fun this summer!

This family-run restaurant should be renamed "Omelette Heaven." I had the best omelette of my life here, the Greek omelette. The others looked fantastic too, and I hope I make it here again someday to try them. The service was quick and friendly, and the decor was warm and inviting. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant! (By the way, they have complete breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, in case you don't like omelettes.)

Haystack Rock

platialUser:deisnor — 2006-07-02 21:35:08.383415+00:00

The famous landmark of Cannon Beach and the Oregon Coast in general. From Wikipedia: Haystack Rock is a 235-foot tall monolith on the Oregon coast in the northwestern United States, the third-tallest such structure in the world. A popular tourist destination, the rock is adjacent to the beach and accessible by foot during low tide. Haystack Rock tide pools are home to many intertidal animals, including sea stars, anemone, crabs, chitons, limpets, and sea slugs. The rock is also a refuge for many sea birds including terns and puffins. Geology Composed of basalt, Haystack Rock was formed by lava flows emanating from the Grand Ronde Mountains 10 to 17 million years ago. The lava flows created many of the Oregon coast's natural features, including Tillamook Head, Arch Cape, and Saddle Mountain. Haystack Rock was once joined to the coastline but years of erosion have since separated the monolith from the coast. Three smaller, adjacent rock formations to the south of Haystack Rock are collectively called "The Needles". [edit] Ecology Haystack Rock was granted Marine Garden status by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in 1990. Collecting plants or animals is strictly prohibited. Climbing above the mean high tide level (barnacle line) disturbs nesting birds and is not allowed. The Haystack Rock Awareness Program is a volunteer association which conducts educational seminars at the rock during low tide between May and September. [edit] Recreation Visitors to Haystack Rock can view many species of marine wildlife in their natural habitat during low tide. The thin strip of rock and sand that connects it to the beach at these times features many tide pools. The area surrounding the rock is popular for picnicking, kite-flying, and bird-watching. Artists and photographers can be found capturing the beauty of Haystack Rock on canvas or on film. Haystack Rock is one of the most identifiable geological formations of Oregon. Many people each year become temporarily trapped on Haystack Rock when high tide engulfs the rock in water, necessitating rescue from the United States Coast Guard or local authorities. Oregon's beaches are publicly owned, and there are several hotels along the beachfront within walking distance of Haystack Rock, making the area congested with tourists during the high season (May through September). On the contrary, visitors during the winter months will find a desolate, wet, windswept terrain, which many native Oregonians also appreciate.

This Time We Had a Goal: Boletes to Eat

platialUser:tracy_the_astonishing — 2006-09-24 08:40:00.730617+00:00

On this week, I felt determined to find some nice, edible boletes. We've been mushroom hunting and doing our homework and I felt confident that we should be able to hunt up something delicious. Our friend Aaron came along with us and he also has a ton of great photos of fungus. We made a stop at the Lady Tresse orchids, still beautiful and in bloom. Fragrant nodding Ladies' Tresses Orchids spiranthes cernua f. odorata (read more) We found a lot of interesting mushrooms, including this really bizarre and sort of disgusting stink horn. Elegant Stinkhorn mutinus elegans Unfortunately none of them were boletes. Some kind of coral mushroom. Possibley Clustered Coral or Crested Coral No idea what this is Unidentified club-shaped mushroom Unidentified Unidentified (big) Unidentified coral mushroom Finally, on our way out of the woods, right next to the path, we ran into a huge patch of boletes. There were two kinds of Suillus, or maybe the same kind but some young and some old. The older kind were nasty and full of worms and we threw them out. old, wormy suillus mushrooms The others looked fairly appetizing, so we cooked one up to try. It was delicious. To be on the safe side, we only ate a tiny amount and put the rest on the refridgerator for a couple days to make sure we weren't going to get indigestion from them. fresh, yummy suillus mushrooms A couple days later I put them in a quiche. It was a mistake to put them in the quiche. They were pretty much lost in there and were much nicer just sauteed in butter. In case anyone is worried, we aren't giving Vigo mushrooms. He doesn't like cooked mushrooms these days and we've read that kids should avoid wild mushrooms anyhow.

If you're not a history buff, a visit to the Kansas Museum of History in Topeka may not be very high on your list of things to do. It's time to revise that list. The Kansas Museum of History has enough to keep a family entertained for the better part of the day. Before even entering the building, kids can play on the large play structure that is fashioned after a grain elevator. A winding staircase leads to the top of the elevator where a series of slides then leads them into the bed of a pick-up truck. Read more.

Sun Fire Ceramics

platialUser:freestatefamily — 2006-11-01 22:53:58.713405+00:00

Sun Fire Ceramics is a "paint-it-yourself" studio that allows you to pick an item (a mug, plate, statue, mirror, etc.), paint it, and leave it behind to be fired and picked up a few days later. It's worth doing, if for no other reason than it gives the kids a chance to take pride in something they've created. It also supports a local business that's been a staple of the downtown scene for nearly a decade. But parents, if you're going to go, you should know what you're getting into. Read more.
