Well, back in new york... I hope this summer proves to be full of visits to the quarry.
Notes: Cowling tunnel entrance discovered! D+A+G and I all went in for a lovely time. Got to see the legendary jabberwocky, and the twister board... RUN it's security!

Boy it's raining hard tonight... beautiful, so beautiful.

Thursday June 14th 07

Yesterday, after I posted, Me and Celeste were driving along when we saw a little turtle in the middle of the road. So of course we stopped to get it off the road. It seems the turtle gods were thankful because when we looked up, there was an abandoned house across the road. Inside was mostly empty... except for a giant glass bong. Looks like the town kids had found a new place to smoke (or an old place).

Later today (as in actually during the day time) I hope to go to the Rosendale quarry with Jonah.

2:33Am- Well, I'm home from sitting on the stoop. Bumped into some people I would rather not have, and some people who I was really happy to see. Also, met Tara who is cool. Last night me/Jonah/Bizz/Rachel/Gabe Went skinny dipping in the mine shaft at the quarry. It was wonderful. Biz and I jumped off the cart rails into one of the deeper sections completely blind. I think it is more fun in the dark. Cold as all hell though (although I suppose hell is warmish)...
I hope exploring gets to happen on monday as we are planning, but hey, if not there's always wednesday.

I don't know how biz can be so crazy as to jump off the high cliff, I wouldn't even do that during the day...
-Pretending to light the shirt on fire, realizing that it wasn't any of our shirt...
-Fire boats on pieces of plastic
-Walking around getting lost

10:07Pm- Found the Vietnam house today... What a find, I don't know if I will ever get bored of that place, its like a time capsule the size of a house. (across from abandoned laundromat)
The rock tumbler with the partially polished rocks really touched me... Who could leave a house so fast that their glasses are still sitting on the bookcase? It leaves my mind free to wonder about why...
Perhaps those papers dated during the Vietnam war give a sad clue.
What a day what a day.
Also Explored: Another barn, and bikes and washing machines place.
Tomorrow is monday! lets see what happens. I hope we find all we are looking for an more in Kingston!

Monday June 18th 07

8:49Pm- Today I visited the Vietnam house again, and stopped off at the ID factory in kingston (which I had heard about through a friend). I have to say, for my first real factory it was more than I could have ever dreamed. Me J and B went along, stopping for pizza beforehand, and then taking a dip at the rosendale mine afterwards.
Fav. Parts: Climbing down into the hopper, Climbing into the rafters, seeing all the amazing industrial equipment.
Here is some more of the Vietnam house:

Wednesday June 20th 07

10:30Pm- Revisited factory with B, A+D, and Ilan. Again, awesome and got some good pictures. As fun as it was, I liked re-visiting the train Junkyard better. Another lovely day, but quite tiring. Too much driving and not enough exploring. On a side note: at the light house we were just sitting eating mulberries when John yelled at some dudes in a boat and asked them why they didn't have their sails up. They responded that they needed a bigger crew for balance since the wind was so strong and invited us aboard. Just like that. They said we were a good crew and we sailed about for an hour or so. Later went back to siennas, but too tired and came home to rest. Thursday we are going to take the kayak to the other rosendale mine and try to kayak down it. That should prove either very fun, or fatal. Yay. Time to upload pictures.

3:02pm- IMP! ()LC R=NTURV/T ()/ 32
So today I biked out looking for the old factory. Instead I found like five abandoned buildings along the way, but not the factory. Oh well. Some of the buildings were neat though. One had exercise equipment and an awesome old ford truck. By buildings I mostly mean homes, Geez I wish I could find something other than homes. Le sigh.

Monday December 03 07

6:39pm- It's been a while since my last post but I haven't been slacking at all. I spent the summer in Minneapolis with alissa exploring everything I could. Got loads of huge drains under my belt just like I had wanted to, and found the place everyone is all excited about just by tinkering around. I still want to find fountain cave. Last weekend I took Alex, Kailyn, Kirsten, And A housemate to Phalen. It was wonderful.

today I imagined that the jabberwocky and I went exploring through the tunnels. first we played twister. then it took me into the train tunnel that's painted on the wall, and we walked until we reached the light at the end where we found a rainbow with a pot of gold except there was no gold inside the pot. instead of gold there was a dark deep exciting passageway that went straight downwards.

p.s. I had no idea this was your page - I was browsing through the journal titles, saw "Steam Thoughts" and thought, "Hey, that one sounds good."

Haha, well what do you know...funny how that works out.
Sounds like you and the jabberwocky had a pretty nice adventure. Personally I might be a little bit scared by that thing.
