The two 55 foot totem poles in the lobby arrived today at the lodge after being shipped from Washington State where they were carved.

WL trivia:

Okay, I'm kind of cheating since I just took the Lodge tour last week. But what the heck, at least I didn't have to Google this one!

They are the Eagle and the Raven poles, named after the birds carved at the top of each pole. There is a plate on the floor in front of each totem that calls out the type of the various animals carved on that totem.

Ranger Stan told me that there is still a ceremony every year (about October he thought) where Native Americans come in full gear and "bless" the Lodge by burning sage and saying words of blessing. They made Stan an honorary "tribe elder" which he said was flattering but not really in keeping with his religious beliefs.

Have a great week Groupies!!

Granny - Thanks for sharing the pictures, living through others visits will help our addiction until we can get back there later in the year.

I agree with DH, it was loads of fun meeting Mr. and Mrs. Muushka.

Gosh so much has happened and I don't have alot of time to write anything. Had a great trip to Kentucky!

Granny and DizneyNutzy - Glad you had fun on your trips! Thanks for the pictures and reports.

Horselover - Hope everything goes well for your DH with the job.

DD needs to use the computer to work on 4H stuff so my time is up. Hope everyone else is doing well!

Thanks, Muushka and Eliza for the wishes for Happy Trails. We'll be at Vero most of the week and then will spend one night at SSR before we fly back north, but I was sure to book 7:05 reservations for Artist Point on Sunday night. We've never eaten there, so we're anxious to give it a try. Plus it gives me the perfect excuse to set foot on Lodge property before we have to return to New Jersey. After dinner, we'll make a quick raid on the Mercantile and then ride the boat over to the Contemporary, hop the monorail to the Polynesian, where we'll settle on the beach in time for a viewing of Wishes. Can't wait! We'll be sure to raise our glasses to our Groupie friends while at Artist Point. I'll to report back in when we return.

Artist Point is great! My husband raves about their mushroom soup. I love their planked salmon and the cobbler for dessert. Had a great salad last time, too. Everything there is wonderful! Have a great trip.

Welcome back DLI! Can't wait to hear about your trip & maybe some pics too!

Hi Everyone!

Bob seconds the mushroom soup - and if you like mac and cheese - ask for their "grown up version" of blue cheese mac and cheese as a side dish - it's wonderful!

Thanks for your pics Granny - we hit our 90 day mark tomorrow - so we'll be hitting the web to do our ADR's (yep - we're planners!). Getting really excited about the trip - since there's nothing in the job market to get excited about.

We just got back from Lancaster, PA and a family reunion. What beautiful countryside - and it was a balmy 78 degrees this year as opposed to our 100 degrees last year (same time). Love going to visit there - just have a hard time with it being a "hot bed" of puppy mills at the Amish farms. We did notice a lot fewer "puppies for sale" signs at the farms this year -- thank goodness!

Glad to read that everyone seems to be having good trips to report.

Horselover- glad to hear DH has gotten a temporary "reprieve"! Lots of for his company to place his in a new postion quickly!

Have a great week everyone!

I know many of us fly into the world, so next time you want to complain about your baggage handlers..... remember it can always be worse.

Thanks HL! I still need to download my pics from my camera. Hopefully I'll get more time tomorrow to do it.

I love the Lancaster area. I was just there when I was home a couple of weeks ago. You will have to PM me and tell me where you went back there!

[DaveH]

Hi all been busy for over a month! Pixie/Moose dust to all who needs it. My son is getting married in one month. We had to cancel the WDW trip for this weekend. We are going in Dec. Dec 10-13 at AKV Jambo and Dec 13-19 at SSR.

 

[BWV Dreamin]

About 45 minutes!

So where are you proposing a meet? Near York or Lancaster? I think York is not that far away!

Not without me!! Bad enough Muushka & JT are having magical moose meets without me. I'm in driving distance, that's good enough for me.
