I'll be opening the station for Barbara today and am looking forward to learning more about the Big Pines area history that I can pass along to our visitors I encounter in the forest.
Come on up and sit a spell.. ;)

A wonderful presentation. I had no idea Big Pines had so much history! Thank you Barbara.

I learned a few things to get my dates correct while chatting with our visitors when I make contact. I was especially interested in the old seating benches that were directly across from the Big Pines hall. It brings a nice appeal to bring people to just sit and enjoy themselves and would provide some solace for the public.
It was a full seat attendance and everyone enjoyed Babara's talk and slide show. :2thumbsup:
