At just over 3,000 acres, Highland Lakes State Park provides a nice break from the suburban sprawl that is Middletown, NY. It's hard to believe that such a park exists so close to the madness.
The VPo Man and I took a short stroll through the woods here. Apparently it's a popular spot for horseback riding. We passed three such individuals. Two women that we met sometimes go camping with their horses. I thought that was pretty hardcore.
This park also appears to attract snow mobiles. Fortunately none of those obnoxiously loud, gas fuming machines were encountered. Although we did not know where we were going, we did an out and back route that brought us to a couple man made lakes. We debated to ourselves for a bit whether or not the second lake was the first lake. We both decided it had to be a different lake.
That was a nice stroll. It was good to be out in the woods. Didn't realize how short my hair was until I saw these photos. I went to one of those barbershops run by and for homies. It was all electric razor buzzing at first, my hair falling to the floor in clumps. With most of my hair shaved off, my barber realized that my caucasian hair didn't prune up the way he expected it to. He broke out a little scissor and tried to clean me up the best he could. The end result wasn't too bad.
ReplyDeleteAre there any resources I can contact to obtain a trail map of the park? Not much on the net. Thanks
