Going to see the forecasting ground squirrel? Bundle up, keep tongue in cheek, get $5 shuttle bus ride, walk back.
Gobbler's Knob的点评
点评:If you want to stand in below 0 temperatures for over 4 hours while being entertained by mostly local entertainment, all while waiting for a beloved ground squirrel/rodent to give a weather forecast, this is the place for you. The Old Lady dragged Grumpy to Gobbler's Knob for this very experience. The nice thing is almost everybody there (from the locals to the tourists) acknowledge that the entire thing is nonsensical and a good time is had by (almost) all. Some of the entertainment was very good, some was almost painful, but all was appreciated. The fireworks show was surprisingly long and was a huge hit. We had a good view as we stood next to the access walkway to the VIP area. Over several hours, we heard many VIP ticket holders complaining about the lack of organization and overcrowding of their dedicated zone. While the sense of disorganization seemed to be prevalent throughout the event, it did appear to be extreme in the VIP area. We took the $5/person shuttle bus to Gobbler's Knob, which was great. Though it was a roundtrip ticket, the disaster that is supposedly the queue for the return ride made us realize walking back to town was absolutely the much better option, even in the zero degree weather. A solid 3.5 out of 5 due to lack of organization but rounded up for the experience and bragging rights.
翻译:如果你想在零下低温中站立超过四个小时,欣赏当地居民的表演,同时还要等待一只可爱的地松鼠/啮齿动物播报天气预报,那么这里绝对是你的理想之地。老太太就是为了体验这番景象,才把爱抱怨的家伙拖到火鸡山(Gobbler's Knob)来的。有趣的是,几乎所有人(从当地人到游客)都觉得这整个活动荒诞无厘头,而且几乎所有人都玩得很开心。有些表演非常精彩,有些则让人难以忍受,但所有表演都让人感到愉悦。烟花表演出乎意料地长,而且非常受欢迎。我们站在通往贵宾区的通道旁,视野极佳。几个小时里,我们听到许多持有贵宾票的人抱怨组织混乱,而且他们的专属区域人满为患。虽然整个活动似乎都缺乏组织性,但在贵宾区尤其严重。我们乘坐每人5美元的班车前往火鸡山,感觉很不错。虽然买的是往返票,但回程排队的可怕景象让我们意识到,即使在零度的严寒中,步行回城也绝对是更好的选择。由于组织混乱,我只能给3.5分(满分5分),但考虑到这次经历和值得炫耀的资本,我还是给了4分。
