Hiking with Uncle Mike

So I has an Uncle Mike wot I met fur the furst time! He do live by Boston, MA and sayed he would like to hike with ME sometime when we hike in Massy-chew-sits coz where we go in the Taconics be the same 2 1/2 gabillion hour drive fur each of us. So since Mike has vakashun from werk, mom taked a vakashun day and yesterday we meeted to go hiking!  We made Uncle Mike hike 12.5 miles!  (He duss run regularly so he be in good shape and did a fine job keeping up with ME!)
Furst we taked Mike to see the Bash Bish waterfalls. I knowed how to take him there coz I woz there afore.
Then I showed him the seeniks atop the waterfalls:
Those be the Catskill Mountain in Noo York on the horizon. I be standing in Massy-chew-sits.
So then we started our hike on the South Taconic Trail.
Waiting on Mom and Mike climbing up Alander Mountain.
A seenik on the way up.
Ta da! Atop of Alander Mountain! That be the Hudson Valley with the Catskills way ofur there. I is in Massy-chew-sits looking into Noo York!
Taking a break with Mike. He has a comfy lap.
So you knows wot the Crasher Skwerrel is, rite? If'n not, click on the linkie and it tell you.  Well here be a Crasher BUG!
Hiking through the woods to the next mountain...
Stopping at the creek fur refreshments and cooling my furs.
OMD! More Crasher Bugs?!?!?!?!?
Aliens beaming up?!?!?!?
Where did they go?
A wind sawk for the alien spaceships
Mike and Mom keeped a close watch on the aliens...
... while I taked a powah nap.
On the way back to our car, I got to be in Noo York and Massy-chew-sits all at the same time!

    OK, first of all, the close up picture of you at the waterfall. My Mom says she just wants to give you a big kiss when she sees that picture.

    Second, I haven't heard of the Crasher Squirrel. I love the picture. And you with the Crasher Bug, that is so funny!

    Looks like it was a very good day for a hike with Mike:) Those waterfalls look quite refreshing. Those hang gliders are very brave - they are so high up and whoa, don't look down!

    Thanks for another fun hike. Now we wonder what you do with your Mom in the winter when it is all snow everywhere. We are thinking you still go hiking.

    You make one awesome tour guide, Shawnee! I bet your Uncle Mike was very glad to have you there to make sure he and your mom didn't get lost. It looks like such a great place to hike!

    I am itching to get back out and start hiking again!

    Be careful around those aliens, Shawnee! BOL!

    Looks like an extra beautiful walk - hope you weren't up on those cliffs during the earthquake!

    Your pal, Pip

    P.S.: I may not be much of a hiker, but I am an expert at power naps!
