The news said no utilities were hooked up or on in any of the buildings that caught fire. Looks pretty obvious what happened. The question is who did it.

More online investigation than onsite exploration these days.

For those who missed it before, the current owners of Dogpatch are having another open house on Saturday, May 16 at 12:00pm. Fun to be walking around the park with permission...you can even bring the kids. ;)

My parents have told me about dogpatch when they went in the 70's and I've been there a few times in the last few years. They call the main building there the "HUB" now and it's a motorcycle rally destination for the d.a.r.e. run. Some stuff is fixed up and Some hotel rooms have been fixed up to stay there but the theme Park is still just sitting there rotting. I have pictures but they are not digital. If I can get them on my computer I'll post them.
Getcha Pull.

Someone is restoring the old campground next to the park: CabinPatch USA or their FB page

In case you missed it, Johnny Morris (Bass Pro Shops, Tracker Boats, Big Cedar Lodge) has purchased Dogpatch:

Should be interesting to see what will happen to the place now that someone with gobs of money owns it.
