A week ago, we spent a long, hot day with a crew from the Travel Channel.

There was one delightful fellow who missed getting on camera ... twice.

Meet Ben.

He caught up with us as we were leaving Pilgrims Plunge. He’d just missed getting interviewed. He was charmingly disappointed.

At the end of the night, we sent the last train out of The Voyage, thinking it was next to last.

Ben comes bounding into the station.

“Hey! I remember you!”

Hey! I remember you!

It was his big chance. His big break. With that smile and personality, he’d take over the show.

Alas, ’twas not to be. The setting sun stole our light and the cameraman packed up and called it a day.

Looking for any way to cheer Ben up, I offered to take his photo and post it on our park blog. Here you go, Ben. You’re famous (sort of…).

The episodes of Extreme are expected to air this fall. We’ll keep you posted.
