Rocking out at the Rock Shop

…at Knott’s Berry Farm. It’s a weird and wonderful place to find in a theme park.

Look at this beauty. For sale for $1,400! And so much fun to lug around from one roller coaster to the next.

Yes, they have dinosaur bones too.

Here’s my favorite item: the mosasaur jawbone. If you’re going to part with a couple grand for a fossil, it had better have teeth.

I love this place. And not just for the fossils and other cool stuff. It’s also really over air conditioned. It’s like a meat locker in there, which is just the way I like it.

An old, old friend.

This is Hoppy. Some of my earliest memories are of riding him, gripping the pole tightly, and watching the world whirl by between his ears.

Hoppy lives at Knott’s Berry Farm, on a 116-year old carousel that’s one of the finest in existence. Truly, it is a national treasure. Can’t wait for the park to fully re-open and give it another ride. I can almost hear that pipe organ playing now…

Watch it spin!
