Our weekend

OK everyone......We didn't want to scare everyone TOO much(tee hee) with all this talk of Salem and WITCHES and GHOSTS and HAUNTINGS OF OLD HOUSES ESP HOUSE OF 9 GABLES,and DEMONS and GOBLINS so we thought we would calm everyone down by telling you of our adventure this weekend with PL1( yes PL2 had to go to work) and (no Stanley PL1 didn't break any rules that we are aware of anyway...) So PL1 took us to a new place called HEMLOCK GRANGE that has a place in it called NO KIDDING HERE, THE DEVILS DEN!!!!!!!!!! Archie flipped out and said he wasn't going ,as going to Salem around Halloween was enough,but I told him it was to prepare him for it( hee hee) and PL1 said that it was JUST CALLED THAT Archie so not to worry....

This is the entrance and we thought that this was great as it looked like a lovely forest.

Imagine our surprise when we saw this lovely sight called Echo Bridge(so when 2 dogs bark it sounds like 4!!!Imagine if it were the Thuglets!)

And then we saw THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!A lovely water fall. Archie said it made him have to pee.Next up..DEVILS DEN.......

You can see my brother looking at it with trepidation ,and he wanted to borrow PL1's cell phone to call Scruffy but I told him not to worry... Let's go this will be fun.....

OK so here is the bridge we had to cross...Check out my brothers face !! Me I'm happy as a clam.

OK Ok I am not all that bad( take notes Stanley on how to be a good sibling) and I gave Archie a little pep talk before we crossed over that bridge.This is PL1's movie(very Fellini -esque I might add) of our crossing with me in the lead( you may need dramamine)

AND THEN WE SAW ANOTHER BRIDGE which was HUMUNGO with a rickety fence and it sloped down and was WAY high up and we all said...OUTTA HERE..................

We decided that the 3 of us had had enough of water falls and bridges and DEVILS DENS and Archies nerves were frazzled so I thought a good squirrel hunt was in order.Archie was so frazzled by DEVILS DEN that he thought he needed to dig for the squirrel.I went along with it until I thought that someone might come along and see this( a terrier looking for a squirrel in a hole....how odd they might think) so I gently told him to look up the tree,which he did.(We can't get the movie on here showing this wo you will have to believe me!!)

If this is how Archie reacts to just going to Devils Den I am a little nervous about Salem!!!!!
