Traductor Google Familia Primavera Fest fotos

Bueno, sólo para ser al azar que voy a hacer esta foto conjunto utilizando el traductor de google en español (es esta ofensiva? Quiero decir ... fue un festival español)

Ok, vamos a ir!

 La feria se divide entre Premium Shows of America y McDaniel Brothers Shows

y se corrió un poco hacia abajo

  Umm, sí ...

 Muchos de los paseos buscando un poco áspera

 Pero no todos ellos

 Y la gente parecía estar divirtiéndose de todos modos.

Yo sólo fui a tres paseos, esta encantadora ruedas Eli es uno de ellos.

  El ARM High Flyer "SCREAMER". Me divertían montado un único brazo uno de cada 10 años!

 Y el tercer y último viaje que wen't en la era... La Watkins Swinger

Jungle Fun aleatoria de una zona de juegos "PlayStation"

 Un hipopótamo!!!

 Y algunos patos también!

Ahh, esto me lleva de nuevo a la Sam Pino días.

Uhh, bueno es sólo para Indiana....

  Zamp pequeñas tazas de té

 Paratrooper

Y una muy golpeados Merry-Go-Round

 Y una foto más, una visión general de la mitad de la rueda de la fortuna

The Lovely KMG High Swing

Yup, I got to ride the semi-temperamental KMG High Swing, Sky Swing, 200 foot tall portable Swing Tower at the 2013 Florida Strawberry Festival. It was fun.... 

here's way toooo many photos of it.

 

Sky Swing.... Swing Tower!

Oooh.... I'm excited!

At the top of the nearly 200 foot tower.

Ah... Sky Swing.... towering over the rest of the midway.

I guess it's... The New Tourist Attraction. 

Yeah, I wasn't kidding when I said it towered over the midway!

Ha, the ARM Vertigo swing tower looks soooo tiny from up here!

(The Yellow tower on the right)

Its very smooth and quite.

But there were speakers mounted on the lift unit.... they didn't seem to play any audio so I'm not sure what they were for...

(also, check out the naughty bits)

 Weeeeeee

Long way down.

Sky Swing! yaayyyyy

 Top of the fair!

Ah, sunset... Almost time for some night rides :D

Sweet

The ride is very classy looking at night.... 

but I kinda wished it had some colors on it.

yaayyy night rides! Swinging high over Plant City.

Pretty...

Ah, after some six rides on it... I'm a fan of the ride... And I hope it sticks around (it is/was up for sale)... and had a pretty rough first season here in the States... Hoping 2013 goes better for it and that Sky Attractions, Inc. hangs on to it. I'd hate to loose such a massive/impressive ride. The only really negative thing I can say about the ride is the seats/lapbar arnt very forgiving. I saw more than a few people get "walk of shamed" off it.. And even I had a harder time getting the lapbar to lock.. But only in SOME seats, not all?  Not sure what was up with that.

(AND JEFF RIPPED HIS PANTS OPEN ON IT!)

..............

Oh hey, its me.

Counting Counties // Wasting Gas

I blame Jamminj

Random post time... Ok, so, I've started "County Counting" just another pointless thing to keep track of and keep count of. As if Coasters, States, and Countries weren't enough... Anyways  Mr.JamminJ found this site that lets you tick-off your visited counties and makes a map for you.. After a few hours over a week or so.... My map looks something like this....

Some 27 years of traveling and countless miles driven, with more on the horizon. I feel pretty accomplished. Oh, and here's a link to Jay's map....

Ok, so here we go....

After a rained out weekend here in the Sunshine State... I set off on a quest to add one (3) more Floridan counties (and complete my southern FL ones while at it!) but to make it worth while I also visited a beautiful state park that I'll post about laters... yeah

So the blue counties I've been to.. Yellow have now been added... and well... the grey ones are on the to-do list I guess. Damn

Ok, lets start county counting!

So we start at Orange County, where I live in Orlando. Woo!

Armadillo live here too!!!

Osceola County is up next...

Lets keep driving....

Into Polk County we go!

Where I rolled 18781 miles in my car!

To get to Highlands County! (+1)

And spend the morning exploring Highlands Hammock State Park in Sebring, FL.

(real Florida - CHECK)

Here's where things got... interesting, kinda.

Highlands was really all I had planned but after looking at my GPS and a map.. I decided to make a run for just one more county to the south.

Glades County! (+1)

Where the police don't seem to care I'm taking a photo...

And where they have BEARS for the next 12 miles, at least.

and then by pure accident... to get gas (after my GPS sent us to a now-closed gas station in Lake Placid, FL....)

Hendry County (+1)

See, gas! yaayyy... in LaBelle, FL.

And its about this point where I realize I'm some 150 miles from home. oops.

So yeah, County Counting....  Right now I have 574 known counties on my map, I've found a few here and there that somehow I miss clicked and didn't add (or as I've checked maps from past trips and found some) but I'm hoping to hit 600 by years end and well, with at least one new state in this summers plans... I hope to reach my pointless self-set goal! Yaayyy!
