Mike you are soooo insane! I love it! I so want a CI sticker, got any extra?

Joe that is just a tad to far to drive for a weekend!

Congrats Shane, Me, Gage and Caitlyn will have to check this out when we visit Lagoon this summer! You should get those motorized pony carts so my kids can run your customers over!

Riding Expedition G-Force and it being #700 for me!

You didn't pick up a spoon for me?? Did the Hustler have a gift shop also? Craig

So who do you know that likes monster trucks?

Wow ..Ice Skating is expensive!!!!!!

You may not be on crack but I think you sniffed the Crazy Glue one to many times!

yep horses!

If I remember right they were horses Larry!

Nice Tr Bill. Was a blast hanging out with you when we did. As for being picky with the pictures you take cause you use film to digital, with digital you can just take fun pics as this one of ours and not worry about it! Craig

So we decided to not do Idlewild, Hershey and DelGrosso's over Labor Day weekend and stayed close to home and go camping. I'm shocked that the world didn't stop revolving with my decision but I didn't want to make the boring drive though Ohio for a fourth time this summer. We packed the camper up with hopes of getting a camping spot without reservations. Drove as fast as we could and got down to Kankakee State Park just before five O'clock and without any problems even got our favorite section in the park. Friday we just kinda took it easy and Saturday was our busy day. We set out on a 4 mile bike ride from the campground to Rock Creek ( a creek with a bunch of rocks in it) which dumps into the Kankakee River. From there we ate some ice cream and went hiking down to Rock Creek. See all the rocks in Rock Creek? So once out of Rock Creek we turn left and hike alone the Kankakee River which the kids decide that the river needs a few more rocks back in it... Along the Kankakee River there are many cliffs carved out over the years and we do a little mountain climbing along them... So we come to another inlet to the river and go exploring up this creek which is dry this time of year... *^remember this photo^ * Up this creek (without a paddle) is this lone rock cliff standing there.. Well all the kids have done this over the years..... He is getting to damn big for this!!! Even Casey joined in on the fun... Remember that photo? High up there....on the cliff top.... 1..... 2..... 3..... (Next photo not for the faint of heart)......... JUMP............. *disclaimer--no kids where harmed in the making of this trip report. * After is heart slowed down a bit we made the four mile bike ride back to the campsite... We relaxed by the fire making smores and pizzas (thanks Lori).... We had our own little fire poker over the weekend. Damn she's HOT...... Thanks for reading! Craig

Very nice Cam. We biked about 8 miles that weekend and did some hiking also. Little Casey did that on his very tiny bike with training wheels. Craig

Matt, ever been out to the Colorado Railway Museum? Very nice place also. Not really into trains as you are but we tend to stop at places like that. Gage really likes them. http://www.flickr.com/photos/20389141@N04/sets/72157607210735733/ Craig

A eurofighter themed to the Mayflower!

Funny, I thought the same thing about the water. So we didn't drink it and I put in my luggage only to find out it was carbonated and leaked all over my cloths! Craig

Adam, nice to have meet and hung out with you yesterday. I couldn't believe that the parking lot was FULL and cars were being parked on the grass. Seems we didn't get away from the crowds as the Gateway Arch was also very busy when we got there. Evel Knievel is a good ride but not worthy of my #1 spot! Doesn't even break my top ten, but a good ride for the park! Craig

This is good James. The first step to recovery is being able to admit it! Craig

Damn it! I looked and looked at The Great Bear sign and did not see that one!

What cave have you been living in? J/K That phrase did make me laugh though! Craig

You said the key words "Not enough staff". They lost a lot of old seasonal employees this year (over 80 people have left under new management, so I hear). It's a shame that they are having such a hard time when the Spackman's didn't have that much trouble running the show. Kinda runs along the old saying " If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" I give IB three years and you will see condos in it's place. Morgan RV didn't want the amusement park anyway, just the campgrounds and the resorts! Craig

9 little duckies... quack quack quack

I totally missed (as in I didn't even see ) some of these! Great so far Will, still think you should name the thread "The Adventures of Little Willie!" Craig
