They were the kind you colored in and they had a generic, Peter-Max-ish style. I asked friends, I asked Reddit, but no one could quite find what I was thinking of (no, it&#8217;s not Lisa Frank). Today at a Goodwill, sitting on top of a bunch of Dan Brown books (those are the only books Goodwills carry), I saw&#8230;</p> <p><!-- more --></p> <p><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/8932a06df54d17f54ddc862704bf6084/tumblr_inline_mipcwjhUSg1qz4rgp.jpg"/></p> <p>&#8230;the stickers! Of course this box didn&#8217;t have everything, but for $0.96 I was able to solve a mystery and bring a little nostalgia home.</p>http://adventuretreasure.com/post/43855593637http://adventuretreasure.com/post/43855593637Sat, 23 Feb 2013 20:24:00 -0600goodwillnostalgia1990sstickers<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lt85litpwf1qch9gxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://imremembering.com/post/11656800436/rappin-rockin-barbie">imremembering</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxFMoUsizGw">Rappin’ Rockin’ Barbie</a></p> </blockquote> <p>I still have my rapper Barbie!

Mr. Adventure and I recently took a trip to this area.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdc32cfja41qhiggm.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdi8ineKyV1qhiggm.jpg"/></p> <p><!-- more --></p> <p>We went on an Underground Boat Tour.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdc3823qOM1qhiggm.jpg"/></p> <p>This seems safe&#8230;</p> <p>Once embarking on the very small &#8220;boat&#8221;, you have to immediately duck very low to avoid hitting your head on the &#8220;Wishing Rock&#8221;.

At one point, the tour guide had us right under the bank and bowling alley. No underground bank robberies were committed, but we did learn that this cave was allegedly a hideout of Jesse James&#8217;s.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdc3gsFp3C1qhiggm.jpg"/></p> <p>Jesse James was here&#8230;?</p> <p>Lost River Cave also was the site of a Nite Club in the 1920s.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdc3ljp2ir1qhiggm.jpg"/></p> <p>Niteclub floor, right under the cave entrance.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdc3tgnNVg1qhiggm.jpg"/></p> <p>Near the cave is the &#8220;Blue Hole&#8221;. The water gets it&#8217;s color from limestone.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdi8m6mrRi1qhiggm.jpg"/></p> <p>In the surrounding woodlands there was a butterfly house. Since this was the end of October, there were very few butterflies.
