Monkey Family Hits Road Block on Summer Holiday

A family of white crested mangabeys set out on a road trip for the July 4th holiday, only to have their minivan break down somewhere outside Columbus, OH.

“They were trying to get to Sea World Ohio,” says Kip Nelson, a gas station attendant who changed a tire for the family’s car. “But that park closed down back in 2001. Either their guide books are out of date, or they don’t use the Internet.”

The monkeys are reportedly back on the road, and sources on the ground say they’ve revised their plan and are now heading for Adventureland in Addison, IL.

“Too bad that closed down in 1977,” Nelson added.
