Exploring the County Park

On my almost daily walk, I decided to go where no man (me) has gone before.

As I began my journey I happened to pass my old site #37 and, much to my dismay, it was still unoccupied.  Here it is Thursday and I had to move last Monday.  Unless the new comers specifically requested 37, we could not understand why I couldn't remain there and the next RV set up where I am, #13.

 

So be it.  I'm happy where I am.  I felt better when, at last, it was occupied late Thursday afternoon.  These are some of the photos I captured on my 2.39 mile walk:

I've heard them but haven't seen any.

My cheering section...or were they laughing.

Abandoned caretaker's quarters

Yes, it's coming

Ceramic tile murals on abandoned
bath house in beach area.
(I will take a closeup of each next time I pass)

At the very top of the landfill

Spectator's Viewing Area

Flat grassy approach area
facing south

Landing strip facing north

Large parking area to the
right of the circle

Saw no evidence of archaeological
tampering in the area behind the sign.

I did get a twinge of feeling that threw me back to what is must have been 

like in this area.  The history of the Indian Nations is rich.  From the history of Westchester County, I found: "...

the Native American inhabitants of present Westchester County were part of the Algonquian peoples, whose name for themselves was Lenape, meaning the people. They called the region Lenapehoking, which consisted of the area around and between the Delaware and Hudson Rivers. Several different tribes occupied the area, including The Manhattans, the Weckquaesgeek band of the Wappinger, the Siwanoy; while the northern portions of the county were occupied by smaller bands of Wappinger such as the Tankiteke, Kitchawank and Sintsink."

On my way back to site, the overcast day
did not lend itself to capturing the
beginning of  changing colors of fall.
