Lovely Rural Pennsylvania

I had such an amazing night. Who knew Overley’s, Mammoth Park, and a truck full of hicks could be so much fun! Kara, Allie, Ash, and I sure did!

We began our evening with a drive to Overley’s to enjoy the beautiful (evil laughter) light displays. On our way there, Allie gives me wrong directions. So after a few minutes, we realize we are on the wrong road. The best idea would be to turn out. WRONG! Although it was a wrong decision, it is what we did. We saw a gravel entrance way that apparently lead to a cornfield. It took us about 20 seconds to turn around and as we were pulling out, a massive blue tuck comes within a inch of my car. We seriously thought they were going to hit into us. A second later, a humongous fat hick, dressed completely in camouflage, jumps out of the truck. Ashley almost has a heart attack. She demands me to, “LOCK THE DOORS TOMMY, PULL OUT TOMMY, SHUT YOUR STUPID WINDOW TOMMY! OH GOD! LOCK THE DOORS!” The guy comes to my window, accompanied by a young hick fellow and says, “Let me see your driver’s license. I’M A DRIVER LICENSE EXAMNIER. This is private property. I own it.” Reasonable thinking would possess me to ponder that this guy was, in fact, not a driver license examiner, nor the owner of the land. We were in the middle of the country and ironically, the owner of the land finds me turning around in his cornfield? No, I don’t think so. Additionally, he is a driver license examiner. Is there such a thing? I had my license in my pocket, but I acted dumbfounded at the notion of carrying my license on me. He was thoroughly shocked! He demands little hick boy to jump in the ole’ truck, so he can get my license plate number. The whole episode was completely comical, but these guys were extremely mad. Kara thought afterward that it would have been more amusing if I would have backed up into the guy when he was getting my license plate number. She is evil- I like it! If there wasn’t a truck full of hicks, I would’ve tried to ‘out run’ them. I didn’t want to take the risk because they were in a 350 Ford Truck, dressed in camo, and assumably had guns. I love living in rural Pennsylvania.

The next spot on our agenda was Overley’s, which consisted only of a few laughs. These included: Incompetent workers at the concession stand. Hick adding his comment to further prove incompetence. Kara and I in the car, while I push the gas as Ashley is midway through the backdoor- Ashley being smashed in the door. This cause uncontrollable laughter.

After our short visit at Overley’s, we enjoy a country drive. We decide to visit Mammoth Park after hours. We pull to the side of the road and insert a towel in the window to make it seem we broke down, so our car wouldn’t be towed. We proceed to walk up the long drive way in pitch dark and enjoy scaring ourselves. We kept thinking the ‘Park Ranger’ or someone was coming, so we jumped on the side of the road. Very Funny. We find wax paper and ride the big slide! That was so much fun. I haven’t rode it since I was younger. Kara and I hid, then scared Ashley and Big Al’ a few times.

We then went to Bud Murphy’s and then I went back to Kara’s. I talked to Kara, Donna, and Matt for a pretty long time. Then Kara and I stayed up and talked to about 1:30. I had a really good night. It was a lot of fun just to enjoy each other. We must plan an adventure again soon!
