Photograph taken overlooking the old Tom Sawyers Island Raft load and unload area showing some river traffic. On the left hand side in the foreground is the patio area for the Chicken Plantation restaurant and in the back can be seen Fowlers Harbor. Running on the river is the Mark Twain and one of the Keel Boats. The image probably shows the first Keel Boats that were used in filming Davey Crockett and the River Pirates.
I want to point out a new blog from a good friend of mine. He is showing some great advertising and other ephemeral items. Check out his blog: Tikiranch. I promise it will not disappoint.

boy you must be a morning person
People like him & Dan G. are used to being up at 4 am for the swap meets... how do you think they get this stuff?
Nice early view, the plantings still look pretty sparse! Some Keelboat images have two windows on the side, others have three. I always thought that the two-window versions were from the Davy Crockett shows, but maybe it's just that the Gullywhumper and the Bertha Mae were not identical?
So that how he gets all his stuff.
Great Post card!
