<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Within The Mind of a Child</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is nothing more fun to watch than a child who is engrossed in a book. Their level of concentration and wonderment of the story unfolding in their mind is plainly visible on their glowing faces and the intense level of concentration keeps them totally absorbed. Do not go anywhere near them while they are so absorbed, as they will not be happy with your interruption of their adventure.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We all remember our youth when we were totally absorbed in the story line of our favorite books. Nothing could distract our mind as our beloved characters ventured out with us in tow on their journey in another place and time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are many such journeys that we and our children have traveled. We had Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, The Hardy Boys, and Nancy Drew. Our children were in awe of the Harry Potter Series and now there is the Calamity Jan Series of fiction books for kids.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many of the ghost towns of the Old West were once booming mining towns. Some of these mines were located just south of the Canadian Border in Okanogan County, Washington.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of these mines was the Nighthawk mine which had a town sprout up in her name.
