Many, many, many years ago, when I was 10 years old, we spent our summer vacation in the Ozarks, at a theme park called "Dogpatch, USA". The park was based on Al Capps comic strip "Lil' Abner"
Al Capps world of Lil' Abner
After Al Capp retired and Lil' Abner faded into the past, the park faded too, and finally closed in the 1990's. It was totally abandoned, and spent years falling apart.
I took a nice, long ride today, and ran up on something interesting. The old park is being cleaned up, new roofs put on buildings, some buildings torn down. The old trout pond has been cleaned out and Marble falls is running again. But, nobody seems to know what is going on. There is this very Willie Wonka air about the place, things happening but no one knows what. I'm interested to see what happens.
Much, much cleaner than it was 4 years ago..
