Mini Takes the States 2014 Road Rally Buffalo to Bethlehem Leg:

Gobblers Knob... well, I guess that is better than naming it Knob Gobblers. We stopped to see the famous ceremonial pulpit of Punxsutawney Phil, the mythical groundhog in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.

We have all seen Bill Murray in Groundhog Day but the ceremony of Phil's prognostication does not actually take place in town like the movie suggests but two miles east of town at the unusually named Gobblers Knob. The Movie was actually not even filmed in Punxsutawney but in Woodstock, Illinois.

The Groundhog Day celebration has its in Celtic tradition. If a hibernating animal casts a shadow on February 2, the Pagan holiday of Imbolc, winter will last another six weeks... no shadow early spring.

Comfort Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We’ve been staying here 1-2 times each year when visiting family. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful, especially the gentleman who has been running the breakfast area for years. The lobby is beautifully decorated and offers many tables, armchairs and places t gather for conversation or card games. The hotel offers many amenities as well: pool, pool table, exercise room, etc., and is connected to the country club golf course and restaurant. Our favorite amenity is the row if rocking chairs on the patio in front of the hotel, where you can drink your coffee, make phone calls or just enjoy the sunshine."
