Hmmm...five guys, nine feet, and the one guy looks like he's standing on his.

Just supports my contention of aliens abducting people from those small towns....and here are some caught on camera....or maybe just mutants.

yeah, they are a bit googly-eyed, aren't they?

This place might still be around:



I recall passing a miniature golf / ice cream joint on old Rte 30 west of Lancaster...usually packed on a Saturday night.

I've never seen anybody quite so proud of new shoes or of having had their shoes re-soled.

Nope, I'm with Rufus...definitely a Silurian scouting party disguised as humans.

Possibly the Welsh sub-tribe.

The Main Entrance to Idlewild Park on Lincoln Highway in Ligonier, PA

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Back in the early 60's when we were teenagers and indestructible, a friend and I rode our 3-speed bikes along Rt.30 to near that spot in Ligonier, from McKeesport, and slept on the ground overnight in our sleeping-bags, using the seats (removed) as "pillows". It was a perfect experience. Ligonier seemed a different world from the steel-mill cities we roamed and lived in.

That's a pretty good ride - ~ 38-40 miles each way. Idlewild Park is still thre along Rt.30, too.

I remembered it as being 40 miles, but wasn't sure my memory was correct, it having been 6 decades ago. You confirmed my memory of it, Thanks. It took several hours, and we were exhausted once we arrived.

I posit that that may have contributed to a good night's sleep.....................regardless of that bear that visited you in the night.

But, what did you parents think of your sojourn?

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Deep night's sleep? Yes, indeed. Bears? I have no idea (remarkably free of caution, back then.) Our parents came in a pickup truck to rescue us when we were approx. half way home, as we were too sore and tuckered-out to make much further progress homeward. They "asked" us not to try that again. We never did.

A good story and good time was had by all.......................even the bear!

That's the nice thing about memories - nobody can take them away, and they continue to enrich the present.

Might be a young Murph in this one - Picnic Scene in McKeesport, PA.........although this could be a meeting of a branch of the local mafia lads after a strenuous bit of exercise with some shovels in the woods.
