I'm curious as to whether anyone else does this...

When I'm bored, a fun thing to spend some time for me is to go "archiving" on the forums. I pick a forum, select "View All", and go way back to early CF threads.

I have discovered some amazing tidbits through this. I have also followed many Wackos along their trips, years later. It's like a key to the past of the CF.

It's amazing to see these logs, even if the photos were long ago deleted from the server. It shows us new, "foreign-domestic" lands, expresses the personality of fellow Wackos, and lets us all see into the past.

I encourage you to go Archiving next time you're bored. You never know what you'll find. smile

Great idea, Rocky, taking a trip in the "Way Back Machine."

Don't go crazy with this, but do post a link to one of those interesting finds every once in a while.

With Memorial Day just around the corner, it might be time to recall the 'tragic story' of Bob Younger whose demise was attributed to beavers upset about his tree sculpting for Harbour Lights.

That's always a good stroll down memory lane.

We'll have to remember to lower the CF Flag in a couple of weeks in remembrance of old Bob.

Here's a great one by Mombo I found. She always has some interesting stories to share. This one's a trip into the Lake Ontario region of Canada. (the indivudual pages aren't liked at the end of each post, so I'm linking them all here):

Day 1, Part 1

Day 1, Part 2

Day 1, Part 3

Day 2

Day 3, Part 1

Days 3/4


Mombo and Paul usually have the most detailed logs. This one even still has the photos, 3 years later! smile

edited to fix first hot link. Dave

Right you are, Grover... But Mr. Peabody was a part of the Rocky & Bullwinkle show, wasn't he?

John,

For sure it was ...

As I grew older and somewhat more wise to the world, I began to wonder as to the relationship between Mr Peobody and his boy Sherman ...

And not for nothing, the third cartoon in that show's lineup was "Fractured Fairy Tales" as narrated by Edward Everettt Horton ...

John and Barry,

I believed both of you are beginning to lose it. However, I used to love the "Fractured Fairy Tales" --but unfortunately Greg won't have a clue as to what we're talking about. It's a shame that youth is wasted on the young. We could all do with a little more of it.

Rocky and Bullwinkle was one of those cartoon shows that appealed to different age groups in different ways.

Probably most of the voice-over content was WAY over the heads of the target audience of under 10 year olds.

One of my favorite lines ...

Bullwinkle: "I'm going over there and giving them a piece of my mind."

Rocky: "That's what I like about you. No matter how little you have, you're always willing to share."
