Started talking, I couldn't break away

Did more stuff today! bunny_hugger got a certificate and a medal for separate, unrelated reasons. The story on that is not yet ready for me to divulge. Maybe next week. Meanwhile let's reveal more of Seabreeze Amusement Park, from late July:

The Jack Rabbit station, illuminated, seen in the twilight.

And there's the end of the lift hill with the lights throwing back the slight darkness.

Looking from the Jack Rabbit queue out towards the entrance gate and also at the flying scooters, a ride we didn't know dated to the 1940s. If we'd known it was that old we might have taken a turn on it.

The front of Jack Rabbit's station, with the track sloping downhill toward the lift hill. Somewhere around here is where a skunk briefly appeared.

The line for Jack Rabbit wasn't long, but it was long enough for night to noticeably advance on us.

Waiting for that front-seat ride ... we'll get it if they run enough trains. The queue is already closed.

This is the bridge you walk over to get to the queue The hill behind it is the log flume and just looks like another wooden coaster.

They look like they're looking forward to their ride!

And we got it! Front seats on the last train of the night!

All done. They're going to be putting the Jack Rabbit to bed for the night, now.

A last look at Jack Rabbit. For some reason I didn't take a photograph of the station and its logo and all that at night. Next time, I suppose.

Looking down the main midway, all closed up for the night, as we went looking for a bathroom and for park maps.

Trivia: Ahead of the Nazi occupation of Kharkiv, Ukraine, in 1942, the Soviet military enacted a scorched-earth policy, destroying buildings and especially every food product, declaring the remaining population (about 450,000 of the roughly million people in the area before the war) to be traitors and ``enemies of the nation''.
