The buildings include a schoolhouse, a chapel, a thatched house, the 'leaning tower of Pisa,' and 'Cleopatra's bedroom.'"*1 They were, in fact, referring to Grandma Prisbrey's Bottle Village.

OREGON TRAIL RUTS AND LUCINDA
"Wyoming: A Guide to Historic Sites" notes: "Countless wagons of emigrants and freighters traveling over the Oregon Trail at this point wore ruts in soft sandstone to a depth of five feet...Next to the ruts are footpaths where bullwhackers and muleteers walked beside their teams....A few yards north of the ruts...is the grave of Lucinda Rollins, one of many who succumbed to the hardships of the trail. A white cement marker where the twenty-four year old Ohio woman was buried on June 11,…See More

Jim Muche said… Hi, Spent a lot of time in the Harbor area when I was younger. Worked as a deck hand on the coastal cruise / whale watch boats out of Marineland. Spent a lot of time at Alaska Freight and Salvage in Wilmington digging out old sailing ship parts and military hardware out of there. Also remember the salvage yard that surplus landing craft stacked up one on top of one another. All gone now. Thanks for the friend request.
