When faced with a zillion Busch Gardens Williamsburg pictures and a ton of stories to tell, I decided to first start writing about exploring Lincoln Park instead.

When the Muse knocks, I guess...

Anyway, if you're so inclined and the RSS feed isn't in your reader yet, I hope you enjoy Part 1 of my four-part series on Lincoln Park: Open Year Round.

I've been reading up some more on Canobie Lake, which is really close by for me. The place has an interesting history; it apparently began life as a "trolley park" built by a trolley company at the rail terminus to boost ridership.

We've got to go back there this summer, before Jorie's birthday so she can still get in free. And maybe this time I'll get around to riding the Yankee Cannonball and the small-but-oddly-historic Corkscrew, and write about it.

Sam has memories of riding a roller coaster there at some point, but we think it was their now-defunct standard Galaxi, which you can see in the background in most older photos of the Canobie Corkscrew.
