The End of the Stairs of Death

After many years of makeshift patchwork, the 'stairs of death' in front of my house, I have finally rebuilt the stairs! They are now safe and level!

NOTE: the SECRET stairs of death are still deadly. Enter my underground layer at your own risk!

The Walpack Inn

walpack-sign

The Walpack Inn. It has great steaks and salad bar.

It is a unique restaurant that lies on the border of Sussex County, NJ and the Poconos. Because it is so far out into the woods, deer and other forest animals often walk right up to the windows. The inn is constructed as a long thin building, maximizing the length of said windows. Inside is a collection of antiques, a piano bar with live music and one of the largest taxidermy collections I've ever seen. Full sided bear, moose heads, elk, they have it all--including chandeliers made completely out of antlers! It's truly a sight to behold, and worth the drive into the mountains.

Their trademark, however, is their backed bread. The small size is as big as a normal loaf of bread, but the large is the size of a Christmas turkey! And it's hearty! I like me some whole grain bread, but this is ridiculous. I suppose if you put enough butter on anything, it will taste good.

My favorite of theirs is the prime rib, though all of their dishes are great, especially the seafood. They have a lobster bake every Friday night that is to die for.

In short, I recommend this place.

Here is a fun site. It catalogs all the old handheld electronic video games with LCD screens. I remember playing the old Tiger Electronics on car trips all the time as a kid.

The really fun part, is that the have a section that catalogs where LDC games have been spotted in motion pictures. This is super fun. The only one I could think of was Friday the 13th part 2, but there are a ton apparently!
