The kids had a wonderful time!
Despite the week's rain and flooding, the library program went on! We brought 2 7-year-old boys and they really enjoyed themselves. Informative and fun - and being read to is always appreciated!

Nice that we took a different trail this year. This is a great event and always nice people. Beth, the park naturalist always makes it interesting.
Thank you to our DCNR hosts for making it fun to be out in the cold!
I agree on the tournament info. I've been trying to find dates all summer and came up empty. Love that lake..

The beginning part was great. Even though my kids 7 and 8 were not at all interested. When we actually started the owl prowl I decided to take the kids and leave so they didn't scare the owls away. I told the park ranger where I parked and she told me I make bad decisions. Said I was parked in. I asked her why and what do you mean im parked in. She directed me to stand at the bathhouse and wait for a car to pick me and the kids up apparently the parking lot clioses at dusk...but when you google pinchot it says its open 24 hours. When I called to ask where it was located there was no mention of where to park. Anyway when she dropped me off at the car I was informed there was a $25 ticket. Ok I didn't look for a sign, didnt see the closes at dusk sign. I was attending an event from 8 till 10 pm. Why would I look, Google said it was open 24 hours. Anyway ok ill pay the ticket but the park ranger was extremely disrespectful!
