haha... this is pretty close-to-home, as I grew up in Oregon, which had a
huge native indian population that affected naming everywhere. I was just
yelling about some dufus saying "Tillamook" wrong, over on Skype a few

I've stayed in teepees out at Kahneeta Hot Springs [1].

We had a Wigwam store [2] near where I grew up, and I visited that many
times since our family was into camping. The gear there was great.

The "Wickiup Reservoir"[3] in Oregon is great for fishing. Spent many
weekends there, with my father/brother fishing.

Thank you. Some wonderful ideas, and some excellent childhood nostalgia!

Maybe the Buildstream peeps can find some interesting ideas, from these
"building" concepts.
