Rip, nice pictures for sure. Have always wanted to see the baseball hall of fame...Someday ...Also I liked reading JF Coopers books too...I read some where that one of them was about a rescue that Danial Boone did when his daughter was kidnapped by the Indians.Think that was The Deerslayer.....Ended well for Boone for sure...Buster....

Very nice area, for sure. It looks very cold, though. Maybe you should wipe off the lense of your camera? Wasn't it just in the 60s there a couple of weeks ago?!? What the hey!

Hey Prizimpal and Beale the statue is known as "the deerslayer statue" and is meant to represent an Indian hunter.
