The National Christmas Tree Made a stop near us today....
« on: November 24, 2012, 02:18:55 PM »
At the Mack Plant in Allentown so i loaded up the boys and took them down to see. The Mack plant put on quite a set up inside.  They had various trucks that you could sit in, the Megatron Mack from the movie
Transformers Dark of the Moon....Santa and Mrs Claus were on hand and hot cocoa and cookies were readiliy available.....Mack the Bulldog himself made an appearance as well.
The tree was not really viewable except for about a 15 ft section at the rear of the trailer where the truck was extended out with plexiglass. The sheer size of the truck and trailer was amazing....trailer alone was 73 ft long and came in with a State Police and US Forest motorcade. A very impressive display by Mack Trucks!
Great time spent with the boys!....enjoy the pics!

Now that is awesome!

Great Day!

I have been to the Mack Plant in Macungie.  My father in law used to work there and gave us a tour a few years back.

Fishing Sandy Hook and anywhere I can get on a boat.




My biggest fear is when I die my wife sells all of my fishing tackle for what she thinks I paid for it!
