It's almost hard for me to believe Tom Sawyer's Island was ever this barren. I loved running around that island and through the tunnels surrounded by trees. Now, I'm not talking about when I was a little kid. I was running through the tunnels in my 20s. I just never really grew up.
Being on the island watching the Mark Twain paddle boat go by is a little surreal considering you're in the middle of Orange County. Disneyland can transport you to so many places.
These folks are waiting their turn on the Mark Twain.
