WHELP! I'm sold
I'm online right now about to buy all this camping equipment and even thou i didn't technichally "camp" this weekend cause I wasn't in a tent and all that I feel like that I would totally love to do that cause the time spent up there in the woods and seeing all that I saw it would be perfect to just get a tent and a sleeping bag the right shoes and a raincoat and just go on weekend excursions to wherever ya know just get out there and see as much as i possibly can maybe just set it up so i only go for the day (like on a Thursday or a Friday when I'm off) and I just sleep wherever I hike too for the night then hike back to my car in the morning and then drive home and go to work I mean it will help get me in better shape and I def think this would be the thing for me too do...just sayin
I had a blast i mean it wasn't the most exciting thing ever but thats not what I'm all about anyway. It was cool to be with my cousins whom i never get to see and the fact that they are clean now is even better because at least i wasn't stuck with a bunch of drunk people ya know plus the kids were awesome and alot of fun to play with. I got to play my songs for everyone and or course cause most of them are family I was praised but it still makes me feel good and makes me want to play that much more
So the highlight of the trip was when we went to Kaaterskill Falls it was incredible. I had never seen a waterfall so up close before. so to start off there was this trail right and it lead along the creek that leads up to the waterfall. First off where you start there is a decent sized waterfall so here I am thinking that was it and I was impressed by that ha. So anyway the trail is mostly along the right side of the water and its about 50 ft from it well I pretty much never went on that rather I decided to hop from rock to rock pretty much IN the water. Well about half a mile down there it is this fucking huge 2 tier waterfall just beautiful right there in front of you. Well this was incredz but def not enough for me. I look to the right and I see people scaling the red rock to keep going up. I decided this is what I had to do. So I just kept going up. It was intense but I never lost steam all I could think about was getting up there and standing behind the falls and looking out its one of my dreams to see something like that. I was swinging on trees I was treding though running water I was climbing straight up rock walls I was meeting people I was observing and apperciating the amazing beauty that was this piece of land up in the Catskill Mountians of NY. I was in paradise. All I kept thinking was how amazing this was and how I wish I could share this with someone to show someone else how amazing the view was, especially from this one rock that was only like 25 ft or so from the very top it was off to the left hand side and was (in my opinion) the perfect view. It had a profile shot of the biggest part of the waterfall then looking down at the rest of the falls and the creek and then outward to the moutians covered in trees as well as the fact that the rest of your veiw is covered in a huge cave like rock bed it was so amazing. I sat on this rock and looked and loved I even carved "I Love This Rock" on the rock itself. As I continued on (I had to make it to the top at this point) I found a couple whom were sitting and had some art supplies I told them about the rock and how it was the perfect view and they should paint that view I would buy that. Anyway I made it to the top and looked out and it was incredible I was standing on top of a mounitan looking down a waterfall and just loving every moment of it. I started to make my way down and slipped quite a few times ha I was pretty much running and sliding down the mountain i couldnt really figure out any other way that felt right. at one point I jumped down a set of rocks and hung onto a tree basicly hanging over the cliff thats where in the distance i saw the couple again and I saw that they were walking away from my rock and the woman waved to me I waved back and motioned towards the rock and she gave me a thumbs up I finished my way back down the hill and found my cousians whom were worried about me so i then felt really bad about how i made them wait and worry and even though I woudn't have traded that day for the world I def would have done things differently by at least going and finding them and letting them know that I had to this but I didnt I was selfish and immature for this I feel bad and they were quick to forigve me just being happy I was alright but I will make sure to not be so selfish in the future.
My love for nature and the outdoors was slightly more enhanced and my final step towards full on outdoorsman is going to be taken very very soon.
