There woz also a grate view of the Noo York City skyline:
Then we gotted to this rawk wall wot is ahind me wot we had to climb over. Mom thoughted it would be a prawblem for me but it woz not, I jumped rite up and mom gibbed me a boost in the bootie and over I wented.
And you will never believe wot woz on the udder side of that wall. A castle! For real, rite here in the You Ess of Ay where we dussn't even has kings and queens. But I could pretend I woz the princess of the castle... It is akshually ruins of the castle coz it is all brokened now. (This linkie tells you all about the castle and has pikshurs of wot it looked like when it was not all brokened.)
We wandered around the castle for a while eggsploring. It woz very kewl. But we founded something else - the litter bugs woz hard at werk. This was the litter afore:
This woz after we picked it all up:
And there woz so much mom had to put it in a big bag and tie it to her backpack:
There woz more but we show you the total at the end. For now, back to the hike.
We seened a deer... (akshually, there be 2 deers - see the udder one up in the left corner - we did miss him until we seened hims legs up there)
... and if'n she be looking confoozed, that would be coz of the lowd swishing sound that bag of litters on mom's backpack woz making. Once the deer seened it was a hooman, she gibbed us a last view of hers hiney:
Then we comed to Ramapo Lake and we walked around the whole lake. It woz very beeootifuls.
Mom even taked my backpack off so I could go in the waters.
OK, so we is back home now and I is very tired so I has to go take my nap. I will has Sydney and Dixie show you the litters wot we broughted home for resykling.
Oh, and if'n you missed the Shawnee Cam pikshurs of the hike, they be here.

This place is so pretty. Love the Van Slyke Castle. It was quite beautiful but even the ruins are still quite nice to look at, especially with all the green foilage around. Thank you for picking up all that nasty litter! The reflection of the sky and clouds in the lake is lovely. That's a great shot. I'm glad you got wade in it, Shawnee.
ReplyDeleteThat castle is totally cool! What gorgeous place. Too bad those naughty litter bugs were there to mess it all up!
