Carl`s Rip Van Winkle Motor Lodge

Rose up, he of the ponderous sleepLifted himself to a stretch in the luminous day.
Looked up and saw the trees grown giant
That were but yearlings when he slept-last night?
Last yesterday?-How stinging is the sun upon the
eyes!
Looked down and felt a sudden shame!
Clothes tattered - fleshed revealed - the jacket
Beyond repair - Did I fight?
His hand, thinking to grasp dead leaves,
Met instead with a beard - his beard, rib-longFear and wonder arrested on his face…
The firearm, - protection against whatever Saw it lying rusted, the stock now worm’s abode,
The lock an instrument forgotten of precision;
Felt an oddness in his body,
In each joint a winter the head a throbbing ache;
“Oh! The flagon! That wicked flagon!”
And with a rushing terror“What excuse shall I make to the Dame Van Winkle?”
From “Rip Van Winkle’s Dream”
One hundred and sixty acres of meadows and a
pine forest along the scenic Catskill Creek that is

your fishing poles! We hope to help make your

roads for stimulating rides leading to historical stops
and points of interest. Hiking trails, horseback riding,
fishing, boating, golf, bowling, shopping,
