Parks and Recreation: Scythers, Dratini and Magikarp at Rope Mill, Hobgood, JJ Biello, Kenny Askew, and Barrett

I finally joined the Cherokee County Pokemon Go Club. That sounds a lot more like a social obligation than it is so let me rephrase: I finally joined the local pokemon Facebook group. I've explored the area quite a bit so there was not a lot of new information there for me but there were a couple of new things. First and foremost was Hobgoblin Park which you'd expect to be full of Drowzees. I'd totally meant to stop there at some point, but Towne Lake seemed like such a waste of time every time I passed through; if I had stopped I'd have found it was actually called Hobgood Park (disappointing, to be honest) and it's full of Scythers. You have to stay a little back from the road to get them. I lunched there at the picnic tables by the road and none spawned but then I walked over to the children's park and two spawned. I've been there once or twice more since then and I recommend definitely stay on the inside edge of the parking lot. Or I dunno, actually go in amidst the baseball fields.

On the way home I picked up another Scyther or two at JJ Biello Park also near the baseball fields where I'd gotten one before. One of them gave me a hard time. Hitting away my pokeballs with a swing of his ridiculous baseball-bat-like arms every time I threw them.

So with virtually every park I've been to paying off in some way I decided to check google maps for any other parks I'd not been to. I came up with only one in the area, called Kenny Chesney park. I mean Crooked Kenny park. No. Kenny Askew Park. It's not memorable because there's virtually no park there just a baseball diamond in the parking lot of the Boys and Girls Club. And a Scyther. I think Scythers like to play baseball. For reals.

I hit up Barnett Park again maybe for the third time. I forget what I got. Something okay but not earth shattering. Oh, right, another Scyther. Of course, there's a baseball field or three there.

Another thing I saw on the Facebook group was a suggestion that maybe Rope Mill wasn't worth the trip anymore, so I ate lunch there the next day. I think a couple Dratini made it well worth the trip, tho I admit I saw no Electabuzzes. The Dratini I got there went well with the one I got at the Magikarp gate at JJ Biello. Also the Magikarp from both parks now that I think of it. The Magikarp are usually overshadowed by something more awesome but I do always get a couple Magikarp at Rope Mill.

Are there any parks near Bridgemill I've missed? Let me know in the comments below.
