Barkerville, BC was a big town during the gold rush. Now it's maintained so people can see what it looked like in the late 19th century. It burned down in 1868 when a drunk knocked over a stovepipe while trying to kiss a barmaid. This is how it looked after it was rebuilt. The gold it pretty much gone.

Top Picture: the Spruce Goose, the plane that Howard Hughes built for the war effort. It flew only one time, in ground effect, at Long Beach, California. The bottom picture is me in the actual pilot's seat of the Spruce Goose wearing a hat similar to the one Howard Huges wore when he flew the Spruce Goose.
