It is theorized that this was a tool to scrape animal skins for use as clothing
 

 Skulls and Bones
 

Possum skull
Found in the 1900's Homestead House during cleanup

Appears to be a perfectly preserved Possum Skull. 
The rest of the skeleton was missing .
 

Here's the perfectly preserved skeleton of a woodpecker also found in the 1900's Homestead House during cleanup

Beaver Sculpture found on trail to
lower pond.
Remarkable!
 

Another shot of the sculptured face of a Retriever that one of the beavers made from  an Alder stump

Here's another sculpture...From this angle,  appears to look like a chicken.

This note was found December 2005 rolled up and tied to a deflated helium balloon. The Balloon was hanging in a large salmonberry bush on the Huckleberry Hill trail.
It was obviously written by a little boy who had lost his dog and wanted to send a note to heaven. The age of the note and the location of the balloon launching remains a Valhalla Oddity.

We used this ladder to attach a big pulley so we could haul a log out of the creek.
When we pulled the log out of the ravine, this tree moved and bent the cheap aluminum ladder. 
Now...Here's this bent ladder in the middle of the woods and we looked at it and it was rather artistic. We just left it there for awhile.
 

Here's two wine labels for our "Valhalla Grown" White Wine

We are told this is an Eagle egg.
 It was found in the old growth forest at the foot of a tree. Our expert says this was probably dropped by the mother away from the nest to make room and so as not to draw attention to the nest.
