Cooperstown, New York -
Forest of a Dozen Dads

This is otherwise a standard county park, except for the name. We spotted that and had to stop. We didn't find any dads, apparently they were last there in 1920 when the place was planted. But we did find more than a dozen horse flies. My wife smacked a few, including one that she said landed on my head. She must have gotten it pretty good. [Steve Cook, 07/05/2008]

[RA: It really needs a plywood cutout so visitors can stand with the Dads, or paternal figurines hidden behind trees for the Dozen Dads scavenger hunt...]
