CHASING THE DEVIL/LOOKING FOR THE 'HAPS...PART 2

So I got a little sidetracked again with work, so here's the last of the pix I'm going to post from my little road trip to Estellville. We had a bunch more but they're pretty much just different angles of the same shots, so....But there was also a little veterans memorial cemetery in the park as well, really cool, yet totally out in left field for it to be there.


At the back portion of the park there was this large lake, and leading out onto it you would walk on this floating dock. The whole time I was there I was reminded of the lake of ooze from creepshow. But it was really cool, very quiet and serene. Karen and I were both in awe at how quiet it all was, and how pretty it looked. Very cool, but really creepy. I tried to take a picture of this thing that was swimming around but it didn't want to some out right on the camera (I need a better camera). We think it was either a turtle or a snake, it was hard to see into the murky water.

Of course there were chuckles to be had at this one. Back at where the glass factory was there was the ruins of this little building, The Pot House. It was very tiny, like the size of a shed really. They definitely had some crazy small buildings back in the day. Kinda neat though.

Spanning a portion of the woods over where there should have been a little stream was this bridge. It ran from the road you drove on around the park to a little picnic/playground area. I decided to run on out and raise up some horns(yeah i'm a dork!)
And finally, this was a little area on our way out of the park, and if I had the proper clothing and time I so would have went exploring cuz out of the whole park if there was the jersey devil to be found, it would have been here! From what we were able to come across this was the only area that gave off any 'vibes', nothing crazy really, just one of those things that prod at the back of your mind and get the hairs to kinds tingle on the back of your neck.

So it was a really cool place to check out. We're going to go out on another trip sometime soon. Just have to get the time away from housework and yardwork to go. So I'll post again with those when we do. In the meantime I'm going to work on getting some artwork done to post. Oh and BTW, if you haven't seen Iron man get the hell offa your asses and go. For serious, the movie kicked total ass. I was never a fan of Iron Man, he just didn't hold me interest no matter how much I tried, but they nailed this movie something fierce. I wanna go see it again this weekend, but doubt I'll be able to. So yeah do it, now. Stop reading and go!!!!

Peas out!
Mike
