The Catskill Game Farm goes out of business

 

My kids used to like to go there when they were little.

In the 70's there was a boom of cheesy tourist places, all radiating from the biggest trap of all, the Catskill Game Farm. The closed last year, finally, after a decline that was slow and sad to watch. The smell of that place still haunts my dreams.

When we lived in Upstate New York, we actually went camping not far from there, with another family. It was hokey, but fun.
