"Which park has the toboggan track Scott? Clifty or Pokagon? My husband is in love with winter (don't ask me why LOL) and every year talks about going sledding or tobogganing."

Scott Emmett commented on Melinda Cooper's blog post I love fall

"My youngest is thinking of going to Hanover. The park is, I think, the nicest one in the state. You know another nice one is Pokagon near Angola. In the winter they operate a toboggan track. It IS FAST!! What a rush!!"

"Weird. I just talked to my friend yesterday who goes to Hanover and was at church and he said it's pretty down there but he's never been to the park itself. I said you NEED to go!!!!"

It was weird. Usually I see mostly gold and green at this point but they are already in red and orange stages. Must be the weather or the… Continue
