Palo.. I wish I had a wide angle lense to get this whole marsh filled with water lilies.. It was wonderful.. I got less than one third of it.. Never seen this many before anywhere..

It must have been esp that made me take this photo yesterday.. It has a big write up in todays newspaper about restoring it to it's past beauty, with additions on both ends and a new road around the back of it. It is on a beautiful point of land.
It was in a movie a couple of years ago.. I wish I could remember the name of it.. Scary movie, but a good one.. Anyone? They found a dead dog in one of the downstairs rooms.. I don't believe it was a Steven King.. but the actors took over the town at the time.. Lots of locals watched them film the movie, and no one missed it around here..lol
It will open next year after being closed since 1982, and will celebrate it's 108th year anniversary..
Historic fact.. In 1905 it housed the Russian, Japanese and American delegation to end the Russo-Japanese War.
They have just restored another big famous hotel up near Jefferson..where Al comes from. The Mountain View House. It is lovely and what a view of the mountains.. They are coming back, some of the old ones.. Can't keep a good lady down... lol
