Here's the 3 of us at the main gate:
Mr. Knotts built an exact replica of Independence Hall so kids from the West Coast wouldn't have to go to the East Coast to see it. You can zoom in on all photos.
The park is more "family" than it is thrill rides so has a lot of displays, shops, shows etc.
A Madame is on the left, leather shop center, Undertaker right.
The Vaudeville Christmas show
Old funeral coach on left.
Interesting history of barbed wire.
Think I'll use the right photo for my Easter Greeting?
I need one of these in my backyard!
Museum Items
This is some kind of train work crew vehicle. 1940's?
I call this end of the park the "Psycho Area" because this is where all the crazy rides are. Of course, these guys favorite area.
Guess who couldn't pass the ride "test seat" because they needed 6 more inches of seat belt to get around their gut?
Must compliment the park on their variety of plants throughout. You can also see the Calico Mine train passing by. Went to that next.
Unfortunately the only shot I got inside the "mine" - too dark, train moving too fast.
A water cannon. Used in mining to wash away hillsides.
The Parks Tree.
One of the rides but you can also see the stage coach.
My favorite thing in the park, this locomotive!
The ol' saying of there being beautiful people in So Cal obviously does not apply to theme parks. 
And finally a sign I saw that I knew Brett needed either on his door or out in his BBQ area.
It was a enjoyable day but probably my last going to a theme park, just too much walking! We and the park were surprised so many people showed up this day which made walking even more difficult but I made it through. Weather was OK, sunny but "cold."
Thanks Greg for this wonderful visual account! When I visited there I liked it much better than Dizzy Land. Nice to see it hasn't changed all that much in all these years.
