Home > Domestic Diversions Last additions - Domestic Diversions Surveyor's Wagon631 viewsFur trapping gave way to mining and other activities in the mid-1800s. This wagon appears to be a vehicle for a surveying expedition. Unfortunately, the surveyor apparently got lost and perished of hunger, thirst and exposure in the desert, or maybe was scalped by Indians, because he is nowhere to be seen.Sep 18, 2021 Mattox Family RV695 viewsIn reality, an Oregon Trail Conestoga wagon. This example had the equivalent for its time of what today would be a flat tire. (Actually this is just the museum's way of making it harder to steal.).Sep 18, 2021 Hudson's Bay Co. Fur Trapper Camp722 viewsNote the Hudson's Bay Company flag at the left. For a while there was doubt about whether the Oregon Territory would become part of Canada or the USA. This was resolved by the USA threatening to invade Canada and seize everything up to 54 degrees and forty minutes north, then making the Canadians accept a "compromise" whereby the Americans got everything they really wanted in the first place.Sep 18, 2021 Fur Fort Warehouse683 viewsI don't remember the purpose of the large machine at the right, nor do I know why they would need a cannon, other than to fend off the aggressive, greedy and belligerent American Yankees (this was the era of "Fifty-four forty or fight").Sep 18, 2021 Fort Nez Perce668 viewsScots officers, French Canadian and Iroquois fur trappers manned the fort, which was named for what was presumably the dominant local Native American tribe, upon whose lands the fort was encroaching.Sep 18, 2021 Lakeside Shelter695 viewsNorthern Paiute campground, first stop in the Spirit of the West exhibit.Sep 18, 2021 Desert Diorama660 viewsPart of the Spirit of the West exhibit, which offers a walk through time, beginning with a stroll past a Northern Paiute shelter and a fur trapper’s camp, continuing through a Hudson’s Bay Company fort, past an Oregon Trail wagon, through a hard rock mine, then a settler’s cabin and finally the boomtown of Silver City. Warning: Some of the captions for the pictures feature tongue-in-cheek, politically incorrect comments which are made in a spirit of fun and not intended to be taken seriously but which some people will find insensitive, outrageous, and offensive. Persons of tender sensitivities on ethnic, environmental, or animal rights issues may want to skip this section. In other words, if you don't have an easygoing sense of humor, bugger off.Sep 18, 2021 The Real Mattox Residence662 viewsChuck and Elouise Mattox's exquisite house in Bend, Oregon. Note the weeping cedar tree just to the right of center - one of my favorite features of the property.Sep 18, 2021 A parking place for Sonja649 viewsAnother view of the house front, with our Subaru Red Sonja parked next to it behind Chuck's truck.Sep 18, 2021 A literary locale with a Lilliputian library695 viewsThe books themselves are not Lilliputian, of course, but regardless, this mini-library is one of my favorite features of the house, a dead giveaway that its owners are cultivated Corypheans of the community.Sep 17, 2021 Oblique view with truck635 viewsThe house is partly obscured by JoAnn's truck, but I was able to capture most of the chimney, which I found quite attractive.Sep 17, 2021 Rees Residence, obscured by vegetation638 viewsVenerable trees line the street and help shade the house. Out in front is Red Sonja, our Subaru Outback; the truck in the driveway is JoAnn's new Tacoma.Sep 17, 2021 725 files on 61 page(s) 1 - 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 - 61 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 2e1402cad8436d392b75ac359f4f047d [am] => 1 ) ========================== USER DATA: ------------------ Array ( [user_id] => 0 [user_name] => Guest [groups] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [group_quota] => 0 [can_rate_pictures] => 1 [can_send_ecards] => 0 [can_post_comments] => 0 [can_upload_pictures] => 0 [can_create_albums] => 0 [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1 [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1 [access_level] => 3 [disk_max] => 0 [disk_min] => 0 [has_admin_access] => 0 [group_name] => Guests [can_create_public_albums] => 0 [can_see_all_albums] => 0 [group_id] => 3 [allowed_albums] => Array ( ) ) ========================== Queries: ------------------ Array ( [0] => SELECT name, value FROM cm_config [include/init.inc.php:177] (0.27 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.13 ms) [2] => DELETE FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE time < 1781507253 AND remember = 0 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:59] (0.41 ms) [3] => DELETE FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE time < 1780301253 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:59] (0.24 ms) [4] => UPDATE cm_config SET value = 1781510853 WHERE name = 'session_cleanup' [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:59] (0.25 ms) [5] => SELECT MAX(group_quota) AS disk_max, MIN(group_quota) AS disk_min, MAX(can_rate_pictures) AS can_rate_pictures, MAX(can_send_ecards) AS can_send_ecards, MAX(can_post_comments) AS can_post_comments, MAX(can_upload_pictures) AS can_upload_pictures, MAX(can_create_albums) AS can_create_albums, MAX(has_admin_access) AS has_admin_access, MAX(access_level) AS access_level, MIN(pub_upl_need_approval) AS pub_upl_need_approval, MIN( priv_upl_need_approval) AS priv_upl_need_approval FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:350] (0.13 ms) [6] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.67 ms) [7] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.1 ms) [8] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.05 ms) [9] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.3 ms) [10] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2026-06-15 08:07:33' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.47 ms) [11] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.217.71' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.15 ms) [12] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.52 ms) [13] => SELECT name FROM cm_categories WHERE cid = 6 [thumbnails.php:157] (0.05 ms) [14] => SELECT rgt, lft, depth FROM cm_categories WHERE cid = 6 LIMIT 1 [include/functions.inc.php:44] (0.05 ms) [15] => SELECT cid FROM cm_categories WHERE lft BETWEEN 13 AND 28 [include/functions.inc.php:49] (0.08 ms) [16] => SELECT keyword FROM cm_albums WHERE category IN (20, 6, 10, 11, 15, 16, 21, 19) [include/functions.inc.php:57] (0.04 ms) [17] => SELECT p.cid, p.name FROM cm_categories AS c, cm_categories AS p WHERE c.lft BETWEEN p.lft AND p.rgt AND c.cid = 6 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (0.04 ms) [18] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid INNER JOIN cm_categories AS c2 ON c2.cid = category WHERE (c2.lft BETWEEN 13 AND 28) AND (1 OR keywords like '%27telp%') AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1614] (0.06 ms) [19] => SELECT r.pid, r.aid, filepath, filename, url_prefix, pwidth, pheight, filesize, ctime, r.title, r.keywords, r.votes, pic_rating, hits, caption, r.owner_id, user1, user2, user3, user4 FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid INNER JOIN cm_categories AS c2 ON c2.cid = category WHERE (c2.lft BETWEEN 13 AND 28) AND (1 OR keywords like '%27telp%') AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' ORDER BY ctime ASC, pid ASC LIMIT 281 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1630] (20.65 ms) [20] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.15 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => lastup [cat] => 6 [page] => 37 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( ) ==========================
