camping central park

Hardy campers set up tents at the Great Hill in Central Park on Wednesday night as part of an annual camp-out program, and Randi Lauren Klein was there to record their preparations. It is quite lovely at sunset, but that whole heat wave thing couldn’t have been comfortable.

That’s “HOOVER*ville” … unless you mean people who set up tents where they ride HoverBoards.

*Herbert Hoover — 31st POTUS, on whose watch the Great Depression occurred — no relation to famed vacuum…even though BOTH really sucked.

As per Wikipedia:
“A self-balancing scooter or self-balancing two-wheeled board, commonly referred to as a “hoverboard”, is a type of portable, rechargeable battery-powered scooter.

They typically consist of two wheels arranged side-by-side, with two small platforms between the wheels, on which the rider stands.

The device is controlled by the rider’s feet, standing on the built-in gyroscopic, sensored pads.”
