Punxsutawney was definitely a unique experience. Here’s some pictures if you haven’t seen them on Facebook yet. We got up at 4 AM to make it up to Gobbler’s Knob by 5. We got to see fireworks at 6:30 AM (first time for sure) and Phil came out of his stump (or was pulled out) at 7:15. That darn groundhog saw his shadow. Too bad I decided against carrying a handgun with me. Punxsy Phil would have seen his last shadow.
Looking up to the stage with the “Inner Circle” ready to talk to Phil
Suz, Josh and I at Gobbler’s Knob at 5 AM
Jim bundled up and ready to see Phil
There are 32 of these groundhog statues around town. This was the mosaic one – my favorite
And this is Phil with his wife Phyllis. They live in a room in the library. You can visit him all the time. Sort of ruined it for you, didn’t it?
