The foundation was laid in the late summer of 1928. In the spring of 1929, more than 200 highly skilled workmen were bought to Emerald Bay and housed in temporary barracks on the property. They worked diligently throughout the summer and by the end of the season the house was completed. During those months of 1929, the timbers were hand hewn, the interior wall boards were hand planed, intricate wood carvings were executed, and metal fixtures (such as fireplace screens, hinges, and latches) were hand forged - all at the site. ]]>

Thylejren also called "Frøstrup camp" began in summer 1970, the first festival in Denmark. Association for the festival the New Society had found a piece of land in between Thy Frøstrup and Østerild to organize a festival that was inspired by Woodstock. The idea for Thylejren came from Jacob Ludvigsen and Lasse Ellegaard, they gave the idea to Henning Kløvedal Prince and Leif Varmark [1]. As you can see historically, there has been much since then. From being a place you like summer camp to a place with residents who would return to the wild, primitive living, and until the middle eighties, even without power.

Thylejren is a haven in the sense that it creates life, life activity, complications, developments. It has space for leaning existences, imaginative artists, caring mothers and fathers, shaman, women and horses and much more. It is both part of Denmark and the society we are all part of and it reported out of the unconscious forbrugerræs and interview kitchen culture.

Thylejren owned by the association "The New Society" which is organized through the General Assembly (every year, 21.8. Kl.13.00) as a senior decision-making authority, that is not a board or a president. Decisions shall be taken in consensus, but also vote. Thylejren is a social experiment in its 38 year.]]>

Kayaker takes plunge over 180-foot Palouse Falls

It took Tyler Bradt four trips to Palouse Falls before he did it. He first laid eyes on the Southeastern Washington waterfall in March while on a trip from his home state of Montana.

"We just heard about it by word of mouth," Bradt said. "People just said, 'You should check out this waterfall in Eastern Washington.' "

His first impression? "It looks pretty runnable."

So, last Tuesday, he went over Palouse Falls, all 180-plus feet of it. In a kayak.

It's a seven-story high tomb of radioactive waste. The mountainous site covers 45 acres and stores 1.5 million cubic yards of material. And it's there for you to explore.

The federal government says radiation levels are low enough for people to visit the mountain of nuclear weapons waste it has built and covered in St. Charles County. A building with explanatory exhibits was opened Aug 5, 2002.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/nuclear-waste-adventure-trail-and-museum/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/nuclear-waste-adventure-trail-and-museum/ Thu, 28 Aug 2008 11:06:11 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/nuclear-waste-adventure-trail-and-museum/ 38.69682800 -90.72478600 <![CDATA[Mount Trashmore]]>

Mount Trashmore Park, also known simply as Mount Trashmore, is a city park located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Mount Trashmore is an example of landfill reuse as its creation consisted of the conversion of an abandoned landfill into a park. The park spans 165 acres (0.67 km²) with hills over 60 feet (18 m) high, over 800 feet (240 m) long. Facilities include four large and 11 small picnic shelters, playground areas, a basketball court, four volleyball areas, parking, vending machines and restrooms. Mount Trashmore Park also has multiple walking trails; a Perimeter Trail that measures 1.95 miles (3.14 km), a Lake Trail that measures 1.45 miles (2.33 km), and a Mountain Trail that measures 1.30 miles (2.09 km). The Lake Trail and the Hill Trail may be combined for a trail measuring 2.75 miles (4.43 km). The park also features two lakes where fishing is permitted. Since its opening in the 1970s, it ranks as the most popular park in Virginia Beach, with attendance of over one million visitors a year.

Mount Trashmore Skate Park is located in the northeast corner of the park, where numerous professional skateboarders have made appearances, including Tony Hawk. The 24,000-square-foot (2,200 m²) skate park features an extensive street course including an above-ground, seven-foot deep bowl. The park also has a competition-sized vert ramp over 13 feet (4.0 m) tall and 40 feet (12 m) wide. On 16 August 2006, a fire damaged a significant portion of the skate park. The skate park was completely rebuilt as of March 2007.]]>

Dick Proenneke's Twin Lakes
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]

@ 2008-05-29 23:50:51
Richard Louis Proenneke (1916-2003), known as Dick, has become an icon of wilderness living in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. Born in Iowa, he worked as a farmhand and rancher before joining the Navy the day after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. After receiving a medical discharge in 1945 (following a bout of rheumatic fever), he again took up ranching. In 1949, he made his first visit to Alaska at the invitation of a friend. He lived and worked in Alaska off and on for years, making his first visit to Twin Lakes in 1962. By 1967, he had begun work on a cabin there. It was completed in 1968.

His was not the first cabin on Twin Lakes, nor was it the biggest. Proenneke's cabin, though, stands out for its remarkable craftsmanship, which reflects his unshakeable wilderness ethic. The cabin was built using only hand tools, many of which Proenneke himself had fashioned. Throughout the thirty years he lived at the cabin, Proenneke created homemade furniture and implements that reflect his woodworking genius.

Dick Proenneke had the foresight to film the construction of his cabin, intending to leave step-by-step instructions for creating a hand-built structure. He also kept detailed journals, recording everything from his daily activities to wildlife sightings and visits from friends and fans.

Proenneke's wilderness ethic was simple: Twin Lakes and the wildlife therein should not suffer for his presence. He reused almost everything, even carefully crafting buckets and storage boxes from used gas cans. This off-the-grid lifestyle resonated with people around the world.

In 1973, Proenneke's friend Sam Keith edited a volume of his journal entries entitled One Man's Wilderness (reissued in 1999). A documentary film, Alone in the Wilderness, was produced in 2003, and is often shown on Public Broadcasting stations. John Branson, Lake Clark National Park and Preserve historian and longtime friend of Proenneke's, edited a new group of journal entries in 2005 which were published as More Readings from One Man's Wilderness.]]>

Zion National Park is a United States National Park located in the Southwestern United States, near Springdale, Utah. A prominent feature of the 229-square-mile (593 km²) park is Zion Canyon, 15 miles (24 km) long and up to half a mile (800 m) deep, cut through the reddish and tan-colored Navajo Sandstone by the North Fork of the Virgin River. Located at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert regions, this unique geography and variety of life zones allow for unusual plant and animal diversity. A total of 289 bird species, 75 mammals (including 19 species of bat), 32 reptiles and numerous plant species inhabit the park's four life zones: desert, riparian, woodland, and coniferous forest. Notable megafauna include Mountain Lions, Mule Deer and Golden Eagles, along with reintroduced California Condors and Bighorn Sheep. Common plant species include Cottonwood, Cactus, Datura, Juniper, Pine, Boxelder, Sagebrush and various willows.]]>

On October 16, 2003, the Wichita Area Treatment, Education & Remediation (WATER) Center, the treatment center for the Gilbert-Mosley Project, located within the Herman-Hill Park, celebrated its grand opening.

"The Gilbert & Mosley Project is considered to be one of the most innovative public-private partnerships ever created to solve the complex environmental problem of groundwater contamination," . "This project has earned the City of Wichita national recognition for its development to avoid Superfund intervention and the impacts upon public health, environmental risks and the local economy." The State Legislature at the time forward-thinking legislation was passed to make the clean up a reality.

The facility located in Herman-Hill Park houses the equipment, a hydraulic-venturi air stripper treatment system, needed to clean the polluted groundwater, and is designed to encourage public interest and observation on how groundwater is remediated. The other half of the remediation system consists of 5.5 miles of conveyance piping and thirteen extraction wells, which extract and convey the polluted groundwater to the WATER Center treatment facility. The system is operated to limit the spread of and to remove the groundwater contamination.]]>

Lucretia Edwards Shoreline Park, named in honor of local community activist Lucretia W. Edwards, honors the wartime contributions made by the Bay Area Shipyards during World War II.

In addition to the local Richmond Shipyards, shipworker's bootprints with plaques set in the sidewalks and long low seating walls point visitors to the other Bay Area shipyards.

The following inscriptions are engraved into the concrete walls:

* Bethlehem San Francisco - The only privately owned shipyard in the nation to operate a submarine repair base, this 16th Street yard overhauled 31 subs in two years.

* Moore Dry Dock handled the difficult jobs of production, repair and conversion that slowed overall output in other yards.

* Hunter Point Naval Dry Dock - Hunter Point repaired 600 fighting and support ships.

* Mare Island Naval Shipyard - Mare Island build more than 400 vessels. Mare Island Naval Shipyard set a shipbuilding record for a destroyer that was never broken completing the USS Ward in just 17 1/2 days.

* Marinship - The 75,000 Americans who poured into Marinship during the war years build 93 ships.

DeSoto Caverns are a series of geologic caves and a tourist attraction located near Childersburg, Alabama.

Located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, it is touted as "Alabama's Big Cave".

In addition in the caves, the park offers various other attractions, including The Lost Trail Maze, a three-quarter acre maze, panning for gemstones, wall climb, and amusement park style rides.

Several events and festials such as the Native American Dance and Crafts Festival and the Holiday Light and Water shows are held throughout the year.

Before being commercialized as DeSoto Caverns, the cave was well known locally as Kymulga Cave. There were local legends about the cave being used by Native Americans and as a source of minerals used in the Civil War. It was also said that during WWII, there was a dancefloor and honkey-tonk in the huge main room. Another legend held that the cave system went miles - from near Childersburg to Talledega, Alabama. However, some teenagers climbed, shinnied up, slid on their bellies and crawled through every nook and cranny of the cave and they found only one significant place where the cave continued for any distance beyond the main room. This continuation was on the left side, at the end of the main room, opposite the entrance (which at that time was only a four foot high by eight foot wide hole in the side of the hill). The cave ends at a blank wall and a small pool of water about two or three hundred yards beyond the main room. With the possible exception of an underwater exit through this pool, to their knowledge and experience, there are no other unexplored routes in the cave.]]>

Rock City is a park located on hillsides overlooking the Solomon River in Ottawa County, Kansas. In a patch of prairie about 500 meters (1600 feet) long and 40 meters (130 feet) wide, Rock City contains three clusters of large spherical boulders. These three clusters contain a total of 200 spherical boulders. It has been designated as a National Natural Landmark.

The park, owned by a non-profit corporation, has a visitor center and picnic tables. A small admission fee, which is used to maintain this park, is charged.

The large spherical boulders in Rock City are giant calcite-cemented concretions, typically called "cannonball concretions" because of their shape. They range in diameter from 3 to 6 meters (10 to 20 feet) with the average diameter being 3.6 meters (12 feet). These concretions lie 2 to 8 meters (6.6 to 26 feet) apart (McBride and others 2006). Similar giant calcite-cemented concretions have also been found in a quartzite quarry within Lincoln County and in exposures of the similar age sandstones in Utah and Wyoming (McBride and others 2003, 2006).

In the past, the origin of the spherical boulders found at Rock city had been erroneously interpreted as glacial boulders, corals, concretionary masses of limestone, and normal erosional remnants of sandstone. Shaffer (1937) was the first to recognize them as calcite-cemented concretions. From a detailed examination of the mineralogy of these concretions and the carbon and oxygen isotopes of the calcite cement comprising them, McBride and others (2006) concluded that they formed as the result of diffusion of calcium through and precipitation of calcite within the sandstone containing them after being deeply buried.]]>

The John Muir National Historic Site, located in Martinez, California, preserves the 14-room mansion where the naturalist and writer John Muir lived, as well as a nearby 325 acre (1.3 km²) tract of oak woodland and grassland historically owned by the Muir family. The main site is on the edge of town, in the shadow of State Route 4, also known as the "John Muir Parkway". The mansion was built in 1883 by Dr. John Strentzel, Muir's father-in-law, with whom Muir went into partnership, managing his 2600 acre (11 km²) fruit ranch.

Muir (and his wife) moved into the house in 1890, and he lived there until his death in 1914. While living here, Muir realized many of his greatest accomplishments, co-founding and serving as the first president the Sierra Club in the wake of his battle to prevent Yosemite National Park's Hetch Hetchy Valley from being dammed, playing a prominent role in the creation of several national parks, writing hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles and several books expounding on the virtues of conservation and the natural world, and laying the foundations for the creation of the National Park Service in 1916. The home contains Muir’s “scribble den,” as he called his study, and his original desk, where he wrote about many of the ideas that are the bedrock of the modern conservation movement. The Muir house became a National Historic Site in 1964, and in 1992, the nearby Mt. Wanda nature preserve was added to the Site. The house is also California Historical Landmark #312.]]>

Gillette Castle State Park is located in East Haddam, Connecticut in the United States. Sitting high above the Connecticut River, the castle was originally a private residence commissioned and designed by William Gillette, an American actor who is most famous for his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes on stage. After Gillette died, with no wife or children, his will precluded the possession of his castle by any "blithering sap-head who has no conception of where he is or with what surrounded". In 1943, Connecticut's government took the property, re-baptizing it Gillette's Castle and Gillette Castle State Park.]]>

Goldendale Observatory State Park is an educational facility near Goldendale, Washington. It contains the largest telescopes that can be accessed by the general public in the United States. It was acquired by the state of Washington in 1980, after being operated by the Goldendale Observatory Corporation since October 13, 1973.

The park consists of five acres (20,000 m²) of ground located on top of a 2,100 ft (640 m) hill. The site includes a small picnic area, an interpretive center, ampitheater, and the observatory. It has several telescopes, including the main instrument. It receives about 30-40,000 visitors per year.

The telescope was the work of four amateur astronomers who were assembling a 24.5 inch (622 mm) Cassegrain reflecting telescope. This instrument was originally intended for Clark College in Vancouver, Washington. However it was eventually donated to the town of Goldendale. An observatory was constructed on this hilltop to the north of the town, and became a public education center. The observatory dome has a diameter of 20 ft.]]>

Strawberry Fields is a 2.5 acre landscaped section in New York's Central Park that is dedicated to the memory of musician John Lennon, and named after his song, "Strawberry Fields Forever". It was designed by Bruce Kelly (1948-1993), the chief landscape architect for the Central Park Conservancy. Strawberry Fields was inaugurated on Lennon's birthday, 9 October 1985, by his widow Yoko Ono, who had underwritten the project.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/strawberry-fields-john-lennon-memorial/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/strawberry-fields-john-lennon-memorial/ Wed, 03 Oct 2007 08:17:20 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/strawberry-fields-john-lennon-memorial/ 40.77580800 -73.97515200 <![CDATA[Munich Ostpark pools]]>

First heated indoor pool of modern times.
Public bathing scene for the court's enjoyment: the Badenburg was built with this idea in mind. The heated, tiled pool - quite rare for the period - opens onto a hall decorated in stucco marble.

Booth Memorial Park and Museum sits on a 32 acre location in the north end of Stratford, Connecticut. Built c.1840 and remodeled in 1914, it is said to be "The Oldest Homestead in America", since it sits on the foundations of the 1663 house, and has been continuously occupied. In the 1900s two brothers, David Beach Boothe and Stephen Nichols Boothe, created the Boothe Memorial Museum which maintains a collection of architecturally unique buildings. Some of the structures include a carriage house, Americana Museum, miniature lighthouse and windmill, a clocktower museum, trolley station, chapel, blacksmith shop, and a variety of other interesting buildings.

The park also now contains the last remaining highway toll booth in Connecticut, from the Merritt Parkway, removed when toll booths were abolished in the state in the 1980s.]]>
