But "Old Reliable" erupting to classic rock tunes does sound pretty worthwhile.   :)

Seems like more of a circus attraction to me. A palm tree? Seriously? I personally think a bit of "originality" could have also been implemented into the naming of this "natural amusement park."

 I will never add this place on my bucket list of the future of things to do. Segway up a mountain?

I could go on and on about this but I have a default setting built into my brain that does not allow me to address things like this to a large extent. It involves a tape measure and my monitoring the rate at which my grass is growing. You know, the important stuff.

Here's one of my favorite Onion stories:

"Civil War Enthusiasts Burn Atlanta To Ground

ATLANTA—The city of Atlanta was destroyed and 230,000 were killed Sunday when a group of overzealous Civil War buffs marched through the Georgian capital, burning it to the ground."

It was an important story in 1996.  You must've missed it.

Okay, that's enough of the Onion from me for today.
