Forest Creatures Running Scared

Our room at the lodge here in the Poconos backs up to the forest. Much to their surprise, the creatures of the forest have been treated to an early "new" moon thanks to my booty flashing activities last night. Either they will never be the same or I will be the butt of many a forest creature's jokes for generations to come.

I have a question that does not necessarily need answering, but is definitely food for thought. The first order of business when my wife and I got out of the airport last Saturday was to head over to Leo's for an authentic Philly Cheesesteak. Great googly moogly it was fantastic. Best cheesesteak I have ever had. It was friggin' huge and the flavor was to die for. No wonder they have been named the Best of Philadelpia at least seven times since the mid 90's.

To wit, prior to our foray to Leo's, I have only had what could be described as posers in a cheesesteak world, having never before been to Philadelphia. To that end, I may never have a cheesesteak not made by Leo's again beause I know I will be more than disappointed. Which leads to my question: If you enjoy a particular meal so much that you know it will be the best you have ever had, do you ever order the same thing anywhere else or do you spare yourself the disappointment?

Leave it to me to find a brewpub in the middle of the forest. Yesterday afternoon Jaclyn and I stopped by for a bite to eat (and a sample or seven) at Barley Creek Brewing. The food was not too bad although definitely over-priced. The beer was just OK. I did small tasters of all seven beers and the Mai Bock stood out the most. The joint has tourist trap written all over it, which explains both the high priced meals and the safeness of the beers.

Today we're going to head over to Bushkill Falls and enjoy a little of what nature has to offer.

I spare myself the disappointment! BTW, you must have an internal brew pub radar or something! :-)
