While we were on a short vacation in the Catskills, Dad had planned a trip for us. He had discovered this place 15 years ago and had never connected it to Lord of the Rings. This place is known as Dibbles Quarry.
It was a bit of a rough walk for me, my Asthma hated on me for the first few minutes. Once I pushed past that the walk was pleasant. No one really knows who made this place. But let me tell you, whoever built this place has to have been built like a rock. I tried to pick up one about the size of a plate and it was v-e-r-y heavy. Or the person has lots of friends to help.
The walk up was a little difficult because at one point you are climbing on those rocks that are loose. The way down was worse, but I was stupid and fell asleep on one of those middle thrones. It was also a bit hot outside, so sleeping wasn't a wise idea. I was a bit dehydrated and probably had mild heatstroke.
This throne had some type of Middle Earth writing on it. Behind my mom and a little to the left of her there is a tall tower that looks like it is supposed to be the Eye of Mordor. We are unsure of this, however. And unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of it.
From the one throne you could see all of this. It was as if you were the king of all you see. It was really quite amazing. It was right on the edge so getting up was unnerving. But once you were by the thrones and/or sitting down it was nice to just enjoy the view.
We decided that these are tables and chairs that a Hobbit would use. There were things like this all over the area. My brothers even found this area with a chimney and some other hobbit sized chairs.
The chairs are very comfortable and nice. They are perfectly balanced so that way it won't topple over and is very sturdy. And like I said before, comfortable enough to fall asleep in. (=
Thanks for reading!
