The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp

@ 2008-09-28 08:11:23
A 300 acre campground for seriously ill children co-founded by actor Paul Newman in 1988. With generous donations from corporations and individuals, more than 1,000 children aged 7-15 attend the camp for free each year.

Many activities are available to the campers, including hot air balloon rides, arts and crafts, farm animals, swimming, fishing, canoeing, basketball, and softball. Staff members also operate an outreach program for children who cannot visit the camp.

This camp has inspired several more camps around the world as part of The Association of Hole In The Wall Camps.]]>

'Joe's Truck Stop' (ouch!)

Joe's Truck Stop is a simple four foot thick wall placed at the bottom of a steep mountain road in Fort Payne, Alabama aka "sock capital of the world." The structure is reinforced with wire, pipe and the chassis from two Dodge trucks.

After one too many run ins, or perhaps a better term is run overs, of his front yard, ol' Joe Faulkner decided he had had enough and went about to put the brakes on these free wheeling good buddies who had whipped out every tree on his property.

The name Joe's Truck Stop was coined by local kids amused by the incidents. In 1950 alone, 13 rigs rolled through his humble domain. Every kind of truck from fruit to circus has taken a dump in Joe's yard. ]]>

Pinchot Sycamore - Largest Tree in CT

The Pinchot Sycamore, the largest tree in the state of Connecticut and second-largest sycamore on the Atlantic coast, stands in Simsbury.

It was last measured in November 1998, when it was 26 feet in circumference and 95 feet high, with a canopy that averaged 140 feet -- about half a football field. Any of five limbs spreading from the trunk would be sizeable trees themselves.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/44135/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/44135/ Wed, 23 Jan 2008 08:24:59 -0600 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/44135/ 41.84774200 -72.80678400 <![CDATA[Nikwasi Indian Mound]]>
