There was a time when I would laugh - LAUGH! - if somebody offered me Disneyland slides from 1979. But now I have a whole new appreciation for this funky decade. Fashions were questionable, but let's face it, it was a pretty great era at the park. And at 39 years, they qualify as "vintage".
First up is this shot of a herd of children having fun as they explore Tom Sawyer Island and its many climbable rock formations. The little girl with the crazy plaid pants is sitting on Merry Go Round Rock. Meanwhile, a friendly boy (wearing a Mickey Mouse t-shirt) waves "hello" to us as we pass on the Mark Twain. Check out the lush plants!
The left 1/3 of this photo was marred by a light leak (so I cropped it off); but we still get a very good look at one of the Canoes as it passes by. Note the coon skin cap on the guides - in 1971 they had changed from the "Indian War Canoes" to "Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes".
