Theme Park Review

Ahem! Everyone knows that Ashland, Virginia, is the CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE.

Great report!

I was there a year ago and loved it. Got to see the same stuff, plus catch Thee Oh Sees at Neuros two nights in a row.

I don't know. The watch thing makes Fremont's claim seem a little more legitimate.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Seattle (it's my favorite city!), and love the Seattle Center and Space Needle! Thanks for the pictures! I definitely hope to get back out there some day, and these really bring back the memories of my last visit!

As you can see below, I'm a major Seattle Mariners fan, as depressing as that may be!


I look forward to the rest of your ODDventure photos from there!

Or maybe just a strongly worded letter to the editor.

In South Central Washington State, there exists a city that really likes dinosaurs.

Like, a lot.

Granger, Washington: "Where Dinosaurs Roam"

Interesting that there is so big a memorial to 9/11. Makes me wonder what other small-ish towns or cities do this as well as Granger. Great Dino Tour! But don't POP QUIZ me on this. I was avoiding the flora on that pathway you noted, and forgot everything.

EDIT: I looked it up. Over 700 memorials across the nation!

There should be a Sinclair gas station in that town (their logo is a dinosaur). http://www.sinclairoil.com

Some recommendations:

Here is a nearby odd adventure (which I have done): https://manhattanprojectbreactor.hanford.gov

Afterwards you could drink a Plutonium Porter at https://www.atomicalebrewpub.com/on-tap.html (didn't go).

I recommend seeing some site that highlights the Missoula / Ice Age floods which scoured that whole region.

https://parks.state.wa.us/298/Sun-Lakes-Dry-Falls
"Dry Falls is a geological wonder of North America. Carved by Ice Age floods more than 13,000 years ago, the former waterfall was once four times the size of Niagara Falls. Today, the 400-foot-high, 3.5-mile-wide cliff overlooks a big sky and a landscape of deep gorges and dark, reflective lakes."

I'm surprised that Silverwood doesn't theme one of their water rides to this, the largest known floods anywhere. They are next to the inundation zone.

Thanks for the suggestions! This one isn't really our thing, though. You're thinking of nearly everyone else on this site!
