Out to Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania for the Bloomsburg Fair . . .

September 26, 2009

Drove past the Meadowlands Sports Complex on an accident-related detour and saw Giants Stadium one last time:

Because of the detour, we couldn’t figure out how to get to Tick Tock Diner in Clifton so we tried a new one, the Versailles Diner on Route 46 in Fairfield.

The Pine Brook Motor Lodge in Pine Brook, New Jersey on the way to Interstate 80:

The Bloomsburg Fair:

Didn’t notice the hilariously snippy comments in the flower arrangement competition in the Horticulture Hall the last time we went to the fair:

We of course overindulged in pit beef and pierogies:

And then there’s the livestock:

And poultry and rabbits:

And an exhaustive Russ Berrie Figurine collection in the Arts and Crafts Hall:

Slept at the Pine Barn Inn in Danville.

For breakfast, ate a Cheesesteak Omelette at the New Bloomsburg Diner (mmm):

Drove through Catawissa on our way to Knoebels Amusement Park in Elysburg:

Rode on The Phoenix and Twister roller coasters, two wood-frame thrill rides at Knoebels:

Here’s what The Phoenix is like:

Rode on the Skyway up to the top of one of the hills in the valley there:

Bought pumpkins at Richard’s Scattered Acres Farm Market just down the road from Knoebels:

Drove through Mt. Carmel on our way to Centralia to see the Underground Mine Fire steaming at the surface of the abandoned town:

Ate fantastic pumpkin soft serve at May’s Drive In in Ashland, Pennsylvania:

Made it to the Tick Tock Diner in Clifton, New Jersey on the way home for dinner:
