 Except the historical value, I'm glad that everything around it's GREEN. When I was in my primary school I learned something like: "Trees are the lungs of the Planet." and it's somehow true.

I'm glad that everything around it's GREEN.

You'll see a lot of green then. Many won't be shown but it is pretty much green everywhere.

In  the following images you will see the insides of the Mount Locus museum and it's representative collection of period pieces of the time.

This first image is what you would see at the time of a child's room. Notice the beds have a rope frame to hold the mattress. This place would be considered someone well to do with wooden plank floors.

Here you have an adult's room, most likely for the husband/wife.

This is the dining area, where one of the few rooms that has enough room to put a spinning wheel for making wool thread from sheep fleece.

In the background of this image you see what was known as a secretary. The desk with the drop down table for writing that could be folded back up out of the way when not in use.

This would be the typical pantry. Where kitchen utensils, gardening tools, baskets for toting vegetables in from the garden, and a general storage area out of the weather. It would be accessible from inside living areas.

Oh! Nice interior photos! Thanks! I'll watch them again and again. I like to learn about this.

Tidy and nice old houses/rooms.

I did great photos, Mojo! I like them!

This is a place where we stopped to stretch our legs. Not really noteworthy for anything other than a rest stop on the way.

It takes me a little while to resize the images as they are going from 2580 x 1932 which is much too big for the forum display and also converting them from JPG to PNG format. All EXIF

Some help about how to resize fast images. I suggest 2 easy ways:

• tinypic.com/index.php has an auto resize ability. There you may choose "Resize: Message Board (640x480)" and it's ready in a few seconds.
• If you have already an uploaded big picture, then you can use our code here and the forum will resize it for you.

Examples:
N'1: a simple non-resized picture sharing: Code:

Code: [Select]

[img]http://www.seo-forum-seo-luntan.com/pics/pretty anime girl pic.jpg[/img]N'2: the same picture resized in 640x480: Code:

Code: [Select]

[img height=480 width=640]http://www.seo-forum-seo-luntan.com/pics/pretty anime girl pic.jpg[/img]
Usually I like this way, because all we need is to add the value "height=480 width=640" after [img and before ]. Once again the code for better understanding:

Code: [Select]

[img height=480 width=640]HERE WE PUT THE LINK TO THE PHOTO[/img]

Yes, it is very easy.

I like the place with that small river.

Thanks for the help but there is a reason for the manual resizing. The images are so large in data size that they need to be made smaller in order for the host to accept them. That is the main reason for manual resizing. Most hosts simply will not accept images with file sizes this large. In addition while I am at it, I change the format from jpg to png. Reproductions of jpgs get poorer and poorer as they are copied. Png isn't compressed and doesn't have this problem.

Here you see some of the original trail, still visible as it is a hundred plus years later. Keep in mind when you see this trail the former post about the Lowess. It is the cause of this trail being so sunken.

[mojo]

This was a pleasant and unexpected diversion when you consider most of the land is flat land in this area. The creek was in a secluded spot and sunken. You don't really see what it is till you are right up on it.

[MSL]

 Yes. This is one of the most 'surrealistic' till now. I like it. Because it's in fact not surrealistic, but natural and pretty.

 I'll add something (that may sound not that good for some 'puritans', but I do really respect many of them). I just imagine -- what IF Mojo traveled to Las Vegas and shared some photos as these (Natchez Trace's); I think it's going to be amazing (at least for me), because, to tell you the truth, I'm not a gambling person, but I do like that Las Vegas' atmosphere and the roulettes' games.
 Btw, Mojo you're probably not a fan of these, but for the record I played roulette already in two places -- in Bulgaria (East Europe) and in Macao (East Asia). Never been to Las Vegas. Only know it from its offline and online fame, and, of course, from the Elivis' song "Viva, Las Vegas!" (Well, it's not 100% his song -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viva_Las_Vegas_(song), but I just learned it from his singing. )

Believe it or not, I've never set foot inside a casino. Been by plenty of them. But there is one thing that prevents me from going inside. I have the wrong sort of personality for gambling. I'd stay at it till it was all gone.

Thing is I'm smart enough to know this and so never gamble. I'm fine with others that want to gamble if that is their thing. It's just not for me.

[SEO]

It's right. And there is another problem: sometimes even at the beginning of the game you may lose all your money. Like these (examples):

• You place your bet on 'even' 5 times, but there come 5 'odd's.
• You place your bets from 1 to 12, then from 1 to 24 and then from 1 to 30, but there come 35, 0 and 31.

Here you see the signs for Grindstone Ford. There's not much to see at the ford. The creek isn't really at the ford site anymore. It's moved as you can see in the sign.
 
 A ford for those that don't know, is a shallow place across a creek where wagons and horses can usually cross safely. Many times would find that fords had a natural hard spot under the water that made a road across for the traveler. Missing the ford could create problems such as tipped over wagons and horse that suddenly had to swim. So usually someone would walk ahead of a team or horse to make sure they stayed centered on the ford.
