The directions to Stricker's Grove
state "Go past rollercoaster and turn right into Stricker's Grove". I
guess this must be the coaster they're referring to as you normally don't see
classic wooden coasters populating the curbs of American highways all over the
place even though it'd be nice.
Stricker's Grove is a picnic park
that's only open to the public maybe three days out of the year. It's
open on the 4th of July, the 2nd Sunday in August and sometimes they have a
third add on day that's announced when they're open in August.
With Stricker's limited schedule I have
been trying to get here for almost a decade and every time something has come up
and kept me from going.
Well I finally made it to
Stricker's Grove this year. Joe and I left Santa Claus early in
order to make sure we had plenty of time to get there and were pretty
much the first people in the park after meeting up with our friend Brian
from Indianapolis.
