Catching up today………….
First, thank you all who take the time to enter comments on these blog posts. I really do appreciate knowing you read my posts and care enough to make comments.
Second, yesterday’s Mystery post was of Ginny and me at the Makah Cultural & Tribal Center in Neah Bay, Washington. I ask you what was your most vivid memory of that museum. Here’s mine:
The Makah people would take very thin cedar planks (top of left pix) and cut “Vs” into them so they would bend into a box shape. They would then join the edges with wooden pegs driven through on an angle. Amazing! To think of all that work to make ONE box…..and in the museum there were the remains of several. In “those times” they must have had boxes of all sizes, each laboriously made this way. Just amazing.
We have never been to that part of the state. Your post encourages me to make a bucket-list of museums to visit! Maybe your knowledge of these museums could be shared on a future blog? Thanks!
When my husband finally retires, we want to tour the country and see museums and other points of interest. But this is just an example of what we might miss. Are all museums listed on the Internet? I doubt it. How is one to find all the little places with big information?
As a park ranger, I tried making a small cedar box. Gave up after a few tries. It tain’t easy to do!
