Once again, Matt, and I made the annual pilgrimage to Knoebels Amusement Park for their Phoenix Phall Phun Phest for a chance to ride their roller coasters. This year the weather was very grey for the whole weekend. It rained all the way down to Pennsylvania , but luckily when we got to the park it had slowed down. It was mostly just a light drizzle for the evening, and it even stopped a couple of times. So it was only a little damp and cool, but it kept the crowds down, so that was good. It did mean we didn't get any photos at the park. There weren't too many people wearing costumes this year to capture anyway.

On Sunday, we headed to Allentown to spend the afternoon at Dorney Park, where we rode some more coasters and did get a few pictures. On the way there from Elysburg, we happened to pass by Centralia, a ghost town on top of a burning coal fire. Of course we stopped to check it out. We also stopped in at the tourist spot from yesteryear: Roadside America, the world's greatest indoor minature village.
