Have been to this park before but it is always a nice stay.

Played bingo one afternoon, Len was the lucky winner and got to yell BINGO twice.  The  blackout got him a great prize, it was two tickets to the Oktoberfest.  We had talked about going so this did make the decision to go a bit easier.  Was disappointed there were so few vendors participating. More food vendors than anything.  They did have several bands and some dancers, crowd was small.  Enjoyed the pig races which were fun to watch and some dog races were included.  Entertainment for the kids was also fun there was a juggler, a magician and lots of games for the kids.  We did enjoy a great brats with caramelized onions while we were there.

Took a ride to check out Resica Falls which is situated in the beautiful Pocono Mountains.  Short walk to see the falls from the parking lot, nice little water fall.  This is located on a Boy Scout Reservation that is still very active.

Made another trip to the Pocono raceway, last time was so much fun we wanted to do it again.  During the drive there the rain came down in buckets, would there be a rain delay?  Rain did let up some by the time we arrived.  I had called in advance and was told we would be riding with another couple, didn't think that would be a problem as the last time we also rode with another couple.  When we arrived we didn't see the pace car like last time but instead a 14 passenger van, you know a van on a race track is nothing like a pace car ride on the track.  Plus the couple turned out to be 7 family members with one little one that wasn't the least bit interested in the ride along and "voiced" his opinion several times, in fact his family apologized and said he is usually a happy go lucky baby.  Guess it just wasn't his day.  The rain continued during our track tour but did make a stop at the finish line for pictures. 

We did visit the casino a couple of times, I mean we were driving right pass it.  Both times we managed to leave a little there, nothing like sharing.

Will be in Maine soon, sure looking forward to our visit there.
