Awesome!

You probably saw our recent posting about our visit to Knoebels and you probably get the idea that we are really impressed by the place and the folks that run it.  Well, yesterday we received a package and I felt compelled to share this story with you.  Deb lost her favorite hat (Air Force Falcons) that she's had for years.  It flew off her head while riding the Flume at the park.  She reported the loss to park personnel, but we really were not expecting a recovery.  We checked back the next day, but the hat had not been found; however, we were very suprised to see it arrive in the mail just a week later.  Our thanks to the folks at Knoebels for both another great visit and this amazing gesture.

Knoebels Rerun

We've visited Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg, PA, a number of times and if you like amusement parks, but don't like crowds, this is where you should go.  As reported in a blog upon an earlier visit, it is like stepping back in time - before the time of Disneyland, etc.  For this trip, we were joined by Ben and Liz (with Mike and Jessica also tagging along for the first day) and traveling in their own new rig we had Bill and Mary on their shakedown cruise and that all seemed to go very well.  As to the kidz, they seemed to have a really great time.  They can now enjoy most of the rides, many even without an a adult riding along, and we all also had some very good food, offered at reasonable prices.  I've posted many photos of our visits in the past, so just a limited number to share with you this time - click here.
