Don't let that short step down fool you!It's a lot ferther down than you'd think!!!
My wife said when I got to this point,to make a sharp left!I truly wonder what she was getting at!!!!????An insurance claim?

The angle of this tower is nothing short of spectacular!It could pass for a scene in any good Bela Lugosi horror movie,fitting in so well!It also reminds me of scenes from a '70's T.V. series called Dark Shadows that featured a character,Barnabas Collins,who was a vampire spooking everyone out for a couple of seasons!
This shot is awesome!

My memory of this place was when me,Ladyhawke,Monica, Linda and Matt Harrison
were entering into this Castle,I was so anxious for Linda to come in because she was distressing as to how she was going to fit thru such a narrow gap in the back of the Castle,I was nervous she was going to refuse all together!But when she did work her way in and began to explore the place,I was nuts with enchantment and excitement!I was an exciteded and bubbly 5 year old adult going thru scenes of a past that I could only see thru the eyes and experiences and detailed descriptions of those who were around me!

Being the artist that I am with such a vivid imagination and never having been there,I can look at this picture,knowing ahead of time where the Teacup was headed,I can imagine sitting in one of those Teacups feeling like I was actually in a real life story on my way to join in a fantastical
adventure with Alice and the gang already partying it up,with all of them expecting my arrival at any moment and ready to take it to a whole new level!

Hey Dave!
What exactly is "formstone" Is this what the two castles are made of?
Can you give some examples of what it would have been used for? Thanks!

This reminds me of Boblo Island in Michigan.
It's been closed for years, but I would love to take a camera and see what kind of disrepair the old amusement park is in now.

My grandfather did a lot of the "formstone" work at Enchanted Forest. I went there a lot when I was a kid. It was such a fun place to be. Seems like such a long time ago. Looking at these pictures, seeing the condition its in now makes me feel a little old.

Better lay off the sweets, motts.

Haha I crapped myself when I seen you sitting there.

I grew up in Baltimore and it was a special treat to go to the Enchanted Forest! I remember thinking it was such a long ride from Catonsville to Enchanted Forest...."Dad, are we there yet?!!!"

I'd lik'ataka'lik!SLUUUUURP!YUUUUUUUUMMM!!!

you just wish to get out there .....and explore more

If some whiteboy gangsta wannabe wanna do this,go find some other place deserving of this abuse and impress your homies there!The place
to start is where you live!Not a place once enjoyed by countless others,totally dirrespected by that "gangsta"crap!
Just expressing my sourness and bitterness!

Aaaahh!Those are stockings caught in the oven,evidence of someone trying to make their escape!Heeey...wait a minute!Upon closer inspection,I'd say they are Mott's socks being hung out to dry!Mott is just sitting,taking a breather in the waiting area........... : )

Yup!it is totally laced like a Christmas tree with Poison ivy,a true greenhouse for the stuff,but being so enshrouded in the foilage the way it is
makes for one amazing shot!
