On a random -20 degree day, the newly frozen river was closed and I was able to get this geat shot of a cliff along the Putnam Trails.
Established in 1815, Chippewa Square features a monument to Savannah’s founder, James Edward Oglethorpe. The name of this Savannah square comes from a famous battle with Great Britian in the War of 1812.

Robert R. Archibald once said, “Places are produced in that wonderful interaction of people, place, narrative, and time. When the people desert these places, narratives are forgotten, ties break, and the place is unmade. What is un-remembered in abandonment cannot be re-remembered… They are disoriented, isolated and robbed of the ability to recognize emotional attachments to others. The sufferers do no have a coherent story anymore. Un-remembering is the enemy of good places and of pubic history.” With this being said, I feel it is important to value what those before us have left behind. Yes, this place does happen to be dangerous. However, getting to see this and experiencing it, makes you feel like you were really there when this place was at its prime. For instance, I could imagine the people buying the tickets and waiting and complaining about how long the lines were with their friends and families. This place holds more than a museum could ever hold because memories were made here; whereas artifacts are kept behind glass cases. There was something very special about being able to see it for ourselves. / / My dad and I were the only two to actually go inside Chippewa Lake Amusement Park. We came across a lot of really neat information/neat stuff Some of the things we found consisted of, old stuffed animals with the carnival games and broken plates, old vehicles, a ride known as the Tumble Bug (which happens to be only 1 of 4 in the world, old buildings, old cash registers, a huge money vault, and a red caboose! / / Chippewa Lake Amusement Park was in business for one-hundred years before it went of business and has been abandoned for almost 30 years. Although this place is abandoned it still holds the cherished memories of those who were able to come before it closed- You just have to be able to see for yourself.

Thanks to the hosts in the group Spirit for featuring this image!!! / / / Ojibwa (ōjĭb`wā’, –wə) or Chippewa (chĭp`əwä’, –wə), group of Native North Americans whose language belongs to the Algonquian branch of the Algonquian-Wakashan linguistic stock (see Native American languages Native American languages, languages of the native peoples of the Western Hemisphere and their descendants. A number of the Native American languages that were spoken at the time of the European arrival in the New World in the late 15th cent. / Their name also occurs as Ojibway and Chippeway, but they are not to be confused with the Chipewyan Chipewyan (chĭp’əwī`ən) / In the mid-17th cent., when visited by Father Claude Jean Allouez Allouez, Claude Jean (klōd zhäN älwā`), 1622–89, French Jesuit missionary in Canada and the American Midwest. they occupied the shores of Lake Superior. They were constantly at war with the Sioux and the Fox over possession of the rich fields of wild rice in this region. When the Ojibwa received (c.1690) firearms from the French, they drove the Fox from N Wisconsin. They then turned against the Sioux, compelling them to cross the Mississippi River. The Ojibwa continued their expansion W across Minnesota and North Dakota until they reached the Turtle Mts. in N central North Dakota. This group became the Plains Ojibwa / Traditionally the Ojibwa, except for the Plains Ojibwa, were a fairly sedentary people who depended for food on fishing, hunting (deer), farming (corn and squash), and the gathering of wild rice. They obtained and used maple sugar and smoked kinnikinnick, a tobacco made from dried leaves and bark. The characteristic dwelling was the wigwam. The Ojibwa had a unique form of picture writing that was intimately connected with the religious and magico-medical rites of the Midewiwin society. Today the Ojibwa, or Chippewa, constitute the third largest Native American group in the United States, numbering over 100,000 in 1990. Their numerous bands include the Turtle Mountain, Sault Ste. Marie, Red Lake, Minnesota, Lac Courte Oreilles, White Earth, Leech Lake, Bad River, and others. More than 76,000 live in Canada, in 125 bands. While some Ojibwa are engaged in the traditional occupations of hunting, fishing, and harvesting wild rice, others run manufacturing and casino businesses. Some bands are still seeking redress for the loss of hunting and fishing rights stemming back to treaties made in the 1850s..
