like to hit the road to look for neat places.
We've found a lot over the years! But there's still
plenty out there to be discovered! And yesterday we
found one!
A whole gang of us had invaded our favorite
restaurant in Tamaqua when my grand son asked
about the possibility of a mini golf game after dinner.
Somebody mentioned a Dairy nearby with two
mini golf courses and .......an Ice Cream Bar!
I had never heard of the place.
We were guided to a road I've never traveled
before (and there aren't too many of them around
here!) After 50 plus years of covering news I've
been to places many northeastern Pennsylvania
residents never heard of! Have you ever been to
"Rough and Ready?"
Anyhow we found ourselves on a country
road driving by corn fields and a farm here and
there. People who live in the area share their
property with a lot of critters....like the big
Black Bear we spotted watching us! He stuck
around long enough for us to snap some
pictures before we resumed our quest.
And find it we did, just a few miles later!
Judging from the size of the crowd a
substantial number of other folks already
knew it was there. I'll have to give them credit
for that......but maybe they don't know about
Rough and Ready!
We tried out the course and, with temps
around 95, decided we'd better check out
a few scopes of ice cream and a milkshake
or two! Just to make sure it was all right of
course.
To sum it up, the golf was good and the
ice cream was great!
I think I'll be able to find it again as long
as I don't depend on the bear as a landmark!
Just when you think you know about
everything that's out there...you find something
new!!!!!
Hope you're on the lookout for
adventure and that all your NEWS is good!
