Here's a few more that I was able to clean up a bit. In this first one, is it just me, or does the figure at the top of the sign seem to be at an angle, as if it spun around?? I don't remember that but I suppose it's possible! It also looks like Hwy 17 (aka 6th St) was already two lanes in each direction.

I know you've all seen lots of shots like this, but I thought I would go ahead and show you everything I've got. This would be off the covered porch area (isn't that called a 'lanai'?) of the restaurant bldg, looking north and east a bit to the nightclub across the lagoon. You can see one of the geysers spouting in the background, and the waterfall on the volcano is flowing, too (I think it was shut off during the closed night hours).

Here's another view of the volcano from the covered walkway. With that piece of bamboo laying there on the mulch, I'm guessing that we haven't opened for business yet. On the right you can see a bit of the lanai (covered porch) of the restaurant bldg. Beyond that would be where the water through the glass wall was for the dining room guests.

This one is a view of Lake Howard at sundown from the back side (west) of the restaurant. The road that you see there, in my mind would be the equivalent of Ave. E (which doesn't seem to exist anymore) or possibly Ave. F. The old Continental Can Company would have been behind the photographer. Across the street is the property that the Volcano sat on. I don't know if the parking lot extended that far back to Lake Howard Dr. (which the car is on). I tried to enhance this better, but couldn't without skewing too many other features.

So this is the extent of the photos that I have scanned and edited thus far. There are still more, and I'm probably about 2/3 of the way through them all.
