Historic Allaire State Park

i recently spent the day in Allaire State Park. I used to go here a lot when I was younger to hike, walk around, sit and absorb the surroundings.

Allaire is a small town tucked in the middle of some woods where the historic building of the 1800's still exist and are fully operational and entact. There are people that actually dress in the clothing of that time period and show what it would have been like to live during this period.

There are also lots of trails to walk on and explore, hike, fish, camp. It is a fun place. There is also a historic church where people can actually get married in. I went toa wedding here once about a decade ago.

Historic row houses

A very cool looking form of a fungas

Woodland paths

There is also a 7 mile stream that you can canoe in

The fishing pond

An area in the park where this is considered marsh lands. Kinda like our version of a rain forest where it is constantly wet and moist. That is why there are planks to walk on.

This is the ground in the marsh area

GHOST HUNTING

BOO !

I have been hanging with a ghost hunting group called Ghost Dance..Lead by Officer Voodoo "Paul" and last night we went out to a few cemetaries and took his sons and some other Junior hunters out for some wacky and ghosty happenings.

It was raining so it was rather difficult to really get a feel for things and/or see any creepy ghoulies. But it was fun none the less.

Paul being creepy in the bushes

All our Junior Teenagers who are ghost hunters in training

Most of my pictures have rain drops in them which are very cool looking

Me in the bushes

We were at this one cemetary where there were lots of deer and this one got in my picture with it's spooky green glowing eyes!

Some mosuleums that are haunted

British Pop Star : Daniel Bedingfield

I have been really getting into Daniel Bedingfield lately. His music is not the kind of music I would normally gravitate to but it is really good. I bought his disk probablu a year or two ago and have recently rediscovered it. His big hits are "Gotta Get Thru This" and "If your not the one". I think I will try and find his new songs and the one with his sister Natasha Bedingfield.

There aren't many solo male artists out there that I like these days

Plus he is very Hot !

ROCKSTAR: SUPERNOVA

Dilana

John and I are not real reality TV fanatics but we really do enjoy this show a lot. It is in my opinion one of the best reality TV shows out there.

What the show is/does is take a famous band (Supernova) which consists of Gilby Clark (Guns n Roses), Tommy Lee (Motley Crue) and Evan Newstand (Metallica) and they are looking for a lead singer of their band.

Last Year was Rock Star INXS and it was a great show.

this year theya re down to the last 6 contestants and our favorite is Dilana. Although she had a rocky couple of weeks becasue of her ego and doggin her co stars, she is truly the best vocalist and performer out of the bunch.

So hopefully she wins! ! !
