Mamma's Head

Drive down any road in the Catskills, and you are likely to spy with your little eye an abandoned, rotting abode hidden in the overgrowth. I always find them eerily beautiful, beckoning me to visit.

















So why don't you spritz on some bugspray and come a little closer with me?

















And closer still...

















Don't be afraid. Let's cross the threshold together...






















In the midst of it all, nature has come to reclaim her domain.


































There's plenty of time to explore...















...and to read!


































































































But what's this, I wonder? Let's have a look-see...















OHMYGODIT'SAGIANTFREAKINGSKULL!!!!

























Alrighty then...I think that's enough exploring for the day.

    Woah! I have explored many ruins in the Catskills (some of my favorite things have been culled from these abandoned abodes) but never have I found a skull!!!
