Hiking with the Fugitive

Rememmer weekend before last when we hiked in that big park where a bad man be on the loose coz he deaded somebuddy?  We went back to that park again.  There be a little bit of an update - the day after we was there last time a hiker smelled some stink and called the pawlice and they brought in the cadaver dogs but they did not find nuttin.  So I had to go back and do some sniffing of my own.

See, the wanted poster be hanging by this trail, too.

Keeping a watchful shepherd eye out fur trubbulls.

The coast be clear, let's roll.

There was some pritty colors in this park now, lots more than the last time we was here.

But lots of the leaves has fallened off the trees.

Seriously, mom, we is going UP there?!?!?!?!

Good thing mom was too bizzy hoisting me up to take pictures of it.

It do be pritty up here.

See?

Just in time fur us, a brand spanking new bridge.  The old one was nommed up by Irene last year and they just finished building the new one.

OMD!  More straight up rawk climbing.  I is not skeered, I just happen to look skeered.  That be my story and I is sticking to it.

But there do be more seeniks up here.

And I got some chickun jerkey fur not gibbing mom too hard of time about climbing up. I is not saying she had to scruff me and pull me up or nuttin like that.  Well, mebbe on that one little part.

This be so mom know which way to go, like pee mail fur hoomans.

I do see a lake ofur there.

And here be some rawk art that I think Frankie Furter might like.

We camed down off the mountain and there be creeks and stuff.

More pritty leaves.

I be standing in the creek but it be all full of leaves.

I finded an open spot here.

I see lots of rawks and little falling waters...

Now this do feel sooooo good!

My snooter did not detect any bad peeps in the park, deaded or alive.  They do think the bad man could not has survived this long coz he be an old geezer with a bad heart and stuffs and that he either escaped out of the park or he be deaded by now.

Hiking with The Boy and The Girl

The Boy and The Girl wanted ME to take them hiking.  It has been a whole year since they went hiking with ME.  It taked them that long to recover, BOL.

That be The Girl and The Boy ofur on the right.  It sure do be taking them a long time to catch up with me.  Yikes.

OK, let's all do silly faces.

I had to lead the way up the mountain.  It starts out with steps - so furry misleading coz it only be the furst pawt wot has steps..

We reached the furst seenik.  I show you a better picture of it...

See, this one do has all of us in it.  Except fur mom coz she be taking the picture.

Here be The Girl Facebooking the seenik to all of her furrends and fambly.

OK, so then anudder hiker commed back to the seenic and sayed "OMG, there is a POKE-YOU-PINE sitting IN THE TRAIL and he is HUGE!"  So I put The Boy on my walking string in case he had any ideas about gibbing that poke-you-pine a big old smooch or sumpin and mom went on ahead to get the poke-you-pine's picture.

The Poke-You-Pine.  The furry fat Poke-You-Pine.

He just waddled off on hims merry way coz the crazy lady mom kept taking his picture and woz getting all squeeeee and stuffs.

Then we had to climb up rawks and I do be leading the way.

Making sure efurrybuddy makes it up the rawks.

Then we woz at anudder seenik.  That be The Boy, mom and me, Shawnee the Shepherd.

Nice colors!

Then we camed down off the mountain and found falling waters.

I got my furs wet.

Me and The Boy

More falling waters.

Then we dropped The Boy and The Girl back off at their car.

Another Fall Foliage Hike

You all want some more fall colors?  Do I has some more fall colors fur you!  I gots to go hiking AGAIN yesterday!  We went up Gertrude's Nose, yes we did, you just wait and see.

Furstly, see wot the sign at the park say?  Good thing only barking not be allowed until after 9 AM coz we got there at 7:45 AM and we went on in.  I did not bark.  Until after 9 AM.

This do be wot it looked like when we started our hike.  Pritty.

We hads to cross a creek with no bridge.  That do not pawsent a problem fur me but mom, being high maintenance and all, cannot get her paws wet so wot did she do?

Boot covers.  Seriously?

Then she be pinning them in a tree like it be Chrissmuss or sumpin.  Mom sayed that be so they be there to cross back ofur at the end of our hike.  Wot. Ef. Fur.  Me, I just get my paws wet.  Furry simple.

So come with me now as I show you the pritty seeniks and colors and stuffs.

Wowser.  Oh, I should biggify fur you so you can see wot I be seeing.

I see those Catskill Mountains where I went hiking last week.

This rawk (speshull fur Frankie Furter fur hims 4th Blogaversary) be called Patterson's Pellet and it be right on the edge!  I has my eyes closed coz the wind be blowing so hard up here I is skeered the pellet be blowing ofur and squishing me like SPLAT.

I is starting to see some seeniks here.

Let's go to the seeniks, hurry mom!

Pawsome.

We has to hike ofur these big rawks to get to Gertrude's Nose.

It do be getting a little dangerous here with the wind and all so we had to be careful not to get sucked into Gertude's nostrils.

I did lead the way safely around.

Do not look down mom or you be getting skeered and shaky in the knees and all.

Ahhhh, we made it to the tip of Gertrude's Nose!

Time fur my chickun jerky.  No worries, I woz not trying to nom mom's fingers, I just did not want the wind to blow my jerky away.  That would has made me furry sad.

Then fur a little powah nap....

... and we be on our way down the udder side of Gertrude's Nose.

There be all farms and stuffs ofur here on this side.

Sometimes I had to engage my walking string so the wind did not blow mom off of Gertrude's Nose.  Or woz that Gertrude sneezing?

We had to go up steep rawks and I did a video of my graceful jump up but I will not show you a video of mom climbing up.  Let me just say it woz not pritty and I will spare you that, my furrends.

Got more chickun jerky?

Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom...

Here we is at the lake but I did not go in.  (Coz the wind woz making crazy waves and mom would not let me - do that be a good excuse, Sage?)  But as you can see my furs so be wet coz I went in a creek earlier.  I furgot to take my Shawnee Cam off and it went unner waters but it be OK.  Whew.

And also fur Frankie Furter's 4th Blogaversary, FALLING WATERS!

Now excuse us just a minit, k?

And I leave you with a slide show of my SHAWNEE CAM pictures!
