A Creepy New Year's 2012

For New Year's, we ended up going up to the Catskills to stay in a friend's relative's hunting house. We like to joke about this being our last New Year's Eve (2012 and all), but for such a beautiful area, it turned out to be pretty creepy.



The area seemed deserted. We hardly saw any other people or cars, although we did hear a lot of random gunshots from hunters. Maybe we watch too much Walking Dead, but it felt like the perfect setting for a zombiepocalypse.























Many of the barns we saw were complete wrecks, which added to the mysteriousness. I have photos of an apparently newly dead deer with its bloody ribcage exposed that I decided against sharing, since it was pretty gruesome. The best part were these trees that were planted in what looked like infinite rows for hundreds of yards. All the branches were cut off except for the very top, which shaded the underneath enough so that if you looked down any of the tree aisles it would fade to black and you couldn't see how far they went. We couldn't get close to some of the coolest spots because of all the giant NO TRESPASSING signs.

All in all it was a good time though. And now we know where to go next year when the inevitable cataclysmic apocalypse comes, to get away from all the future zombies.
