Thanks to a landmark from a friend recommending a visit, I went to another
spectacular region that is set for winter activities. Since it was new to me, I
spent a long time exploring. There are actually 11 sims associated as the
‘Park Sims.’ At the time of this writing, four of the sims have been
turned into a winter wonderland. I ice skated through 4 sims on the ponds and
rivers passing under covered bridges. As I glided along I saw farm lands with
animals and buildings and large birds flew overhead. 
I stopped off at a
“conservatory” style building that is serving meals. You have a great choice of
breakfast, lunch , beverages depending on the time of day. If you see it be
sure to go in for the full experience. All along the way I found sweet little
places to stop and investigate or hang out. Since there are no rentals here, you
may open any doors. I read that area is based on the early 20th century
American coastal area and it is very true. I took a cross country ski tour and
found a lovely stained glass church reminiscent of the the churches you see all
around the villages of the New England States, even now, that date back to that
era. You can enter the homes to see the furnishings that are also typical of
that time. 
When you enter the sims you will find a set of rules to make your
stay more enjoyable and tips for what to look for. The owners, Tymus Tenk and
Truck Merideth have brought these sims to SL just for the enjoyment of
nature. I am amazed I have not found them before. They have also build an
elaborate and elegant Christmas Pavilion at the Bay of Balfala where events will
take place for the holiday season. It actually streches across the whole sim and
is lovely! You can find that at http://slurl.com/secondlife/
To begin the
tour of the winter sims when you land you will see pose balls for skating
that will take you along the route with no effort. Pick up the notecards before
you take off. I plan to take the tour again to see all that I passed by on my
first tour and then venture into the other sims to take a look. http://slurl.com/secondlife/
