Now I knew someone would come up with something.

It looks like it could be really neat, thanks Bruce.

I also would like to see the "Log Cabin Village" by the Zoo in Ft. Worth.
But I can never think about it when it's open it seems.
They seem to open Late and close Early! It must be open only a few hours a week. I remembered about visiting it one time last August when I had a little time I could spend there, and at 4:00pm it was already locked up???

From their site, I thought this was kind of interesting:

"Dallas Heritage Village only contracts commercial shoots for one time use. The work that results from the shoot cannot be a product that is resold for the benefit of the client."
