![]() Stays in Chester, West Virginia - the home of Mountaineer Race Track and Gaming Resort
Here is my "Scavs like" break down of my trip. On a side note, I have to say I love the track itself BUT the facilities such as anyplace indoors SUCKS compared to how NICE the track is as well as its casino. TIME TO STEP UP Mountaineer and fix up the indoor facilities at the track. LOOSE THE OLD PAINT, THE NASTY CONCESSIONS AND the Beulah Park type atmosphere. Chilling outside at a park bench at the start finish line last night I was in heavan, but when I had to go in to make a wager or get some "beverages" or whatever made my stomach crawl. Monday, April 23rd 2:15am - I wake up, jump in the shower, grab some caffeine and head to work 4am - 12:30pm - Another day at work dealing with produce and customers, some great some not so great. All shift long thinking about nothing but gettin to Mountaineer and cutting loose with friends 1:15pm - Home and ready to roll. Quick shower, change of clothes and headed out the door. The caravan of us crazy fools are en route to Mountaineer 1:17pm - I forgot my favorite ink pen, so a quick turnaround was needed 1:19 or 1:20pm - Back on the road, some curse words from my pals, all is good 3:00pm ish - Stuck behind a semi and a school bus on a 2 lane road. I TOLD HIM TOO NOT TAKE ROUTE 22 3:30pm - I gotta use the bathroom, so we pull into this gas station in this SMALL TOWN. "We ain't got none". So I go "natural" and relieve the pressure behind a tree 4:00pm - We are cruising thru Weirton, West Virginia, home of the SHADIEST STRIP CLUBS AND RED LIGHT DISTRICT this side of the Mississippi river 4:30pm - The caravan of crazy fools arrives. We check in and get the night rollin 7:00pm - I am chillin with my pals at Mountaineer Race Track at the start finish line outside on a park bench loving life. Nice cool breeze coming off the Ohio River, and just all smiles - every one of us. Its hard to beat the company of friends no matter the circumstance. It was once again a reminder to me just how valuable good friends are, don't take those friendships for granted Curt 9:30pm - A big ass thunderstorm is headed our way so we bail and take the shuttle back to the casino and hotel. Thanks to John Mckee, who was listed as the trainer and owner on a winner, I got some loot to get crazy with 9:45pm - 11pm - Massive consumption of beverages is underway at the casino. We are playing slots ![]() ![]() 11:15pm - 1 pal down and out, sleeping, 2 left. I am standing strong up about $50 11:30 'ish' pm - around 2:00 am - CRAZY stuff. I am singing with Elvis (got my picture takin with him as well ![]() Around 3:00am - Closing time (4:00am) - I am the lone soldier bouncing off the walls with too much alcohol in my system sitting next to this beauty of a woman who just got off work serving idiots like me. Next thing I know, she disappears 10:00am today - I wake up and realize where I am. I check my wallet for the damage and get the details of the others, what hapened to them etc.. 11:00am - We check out and hit the casino again 12:00pm - Decision is made to leave Mountaineer and head to Wheeling Downs, another friggin casino on the way home 1:00pm - I put a $5 bill in a slot, next thing I know I have $100 3:00pm - 3 crazy pals leave West Virginia and head home, with a quick stop at Mcdonalds for some grub and a quick get together on how one of us will have to explain to his wife why he has so many withdrawls on his atm ![]() Last edited by 2MinsToPost : 04-24-2007 at 08:46 PM. |
