Title: SX4 in amusement park in PA
Post by: WoodenBirdOfPrey on August 11, 2012, 07:03:19 PM
I drove up to Knoebels Grove in Elysburg, PA today for my company picnic.  I wasn't going to drive the Eagle, since it's a 2 hour drive and I have a Saturn that gets 35mpg highway... but I had plans for later where the ol' bird would be much more suitable.  While waiting in line, I see familiar shape pull down the access road to the amusement park about 15 cars in front of me - this blue SX4.  What are the chances?  I immediately honked the horn and immediately got a wave back from the driver and his sister as they made a hard right turn and went towards the park.  I worked my way through traffic, and by the time we were at the parking lot, he was only 4 cars in front of me, and he pulled off to the side and waited so we could park side by side.  We talked  :eagle:  for about 15 minutes, walked in to the park together, then parted ways.

No, he's not a member.  He is aware of the nest though, and has checked it out before.  We may see him around sometime.
