Maybe I&#39;ll get back to your part of the country someday for a history tour. Here in Oregon, the white man&#39;s history only goes back 150 years or so, to any extent. But did you know, some 12,000 year old Indian poop was found here as well as some 10,000 year old sandals? Other than that and a few arrowheads, the Indians just didn&#39;t leave much.Snowbrushhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35562829.post-11202618284181367022009-12-07T22:27:46.562-05:002009-12-07T22:27:46.562-05:00Beautiful canals, but some of them appear to have no water.<br /><br />Amazing piece of history and wonderful photos.Wolynskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04428782184898610640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35562829.post-73058030390617299472009-12-07T21:50:07.545-05:002009-12-07T21:50:07.545-05:00Thanks for sharing your travels.Smart Mouth Broadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12157189992200894945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35562829.post-79240619514018717372009-12-07T19:53:16.305-05:002009-12-07T19:53:16.305-05:00Joe: Neat post, we are lucky to have remnants of the canal up here also.This Is My Blog - fishing guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03826128050970967135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35562829.post-89762704489745352632009-12-07T19:53:02.506-05:002009-12-07T19:53:02.506-05:00Joe.
