We had a cool time on a hot, hot day on our One Tank Trip to Camelbeach in the Poconos.
In case you never heard of the place, it's known as Camelback Mountain most of the year. For the last decade, they've been cooling people off in the summer with an amazing waterpark.

Here's where we spent the morning on Good Day: The newest attraction, called Pharoh's Phortress. They found a way to keep that "Camel" theme going....

Here's one of the coolest things we saw while exploring the park after the show:
It's called the ultimate surfing ride, the FlowRider. I didn't try it, but I have a feeling that it's not as easy as it looks. On second thought, it doesn't even look easy!

A few more things about Camelbeach, before you take out a second mortgage to gas up the car:
In addition to the 30 waterslides and the FlowRider, there's a Wave Pool, the Adventure Rider, Bumper Boats, Scenic Chairlift Ride, Mini Golf and Rock Climbing.
There are special nights for concerts and something they call "Camel-oke."
Plenty of special Steals and Deals (that means discounts!) can be found on their web site.
Last one in is a rotten camel!

I have been the weather anchor on Good Day Philadelphia since December of 1997. It's been quite a ride, and I've been extremely fortunate. I've spent much of my time during the years taking weather on location. Those experiences have afforded me so many opportunities I never would have had otherwise. I've visited countless schools and been able to show our viewers some of the positive things going on in the classrooms in our area. We've been able to focus on the many teachers working very hard, and the students who will always remember when TV came to their school. I'm also proud of encouraging our viewers to be "tourists in their own hometown." We've taken you to special spots, like the Camden Children's Garden, the Constitution Center, and hundreds more. These are places I might have procrastinated about visiting on my own, but thanks to this job, I've been able to feel so much a part of this community as the folks out there have opened their arms. How lucky am I? My daughter has been a part of this program, periodically, from the time she was six months old. And even now, people who recognize me and Nia when we're out and about remember when I did the weather from our house on her first day of kindergarten. Now she is in fifth grade! So many of her childhood memories are preserved on Good Day, and I am grateful. We continue to make amazing upgrades to our equipment here at Fox 29, and it's exciting to work with the very latest in state-of-the-art technology. My latest thrill is this blog. I look forward to hearing from you!
