Rapunzel's Place?

While out gallivanting with my daughters this afternoon, I spied what looks possible to be Rapunzel's tower. We drove down for a closer look, got out of the vehicle and called out "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!" but no golden locks came flowing down from the tower's lofty heights. The tower sported a bight yellow sign warning passersby to "Keep Off". I wondered why someone had placed all those footholds up the wall if scaling the summit was prohibited. We retreated to the safety of the van as the residents of the neighboring retirement home kept watch on the structure. Maybe I will return again at a future date to see if there is ever any action down there.

  1. Hi Martha, Thanks for coming by Pappy's for a visit. I'm sure Repunzel would be in the retirement home by now. :)

  6. "Gallivanting"...!!!That was one of my mother's favorite words, and also one of her favorite things to do....tell me you didn't really get out and yell for Repunzel...I probably would have, just to embarrass my teenagers and give my little ones a laugh...
    There are alot of things to wonder about in this world...but not knowing what it is and why it was built is probably better, because it's purpose might be too practical and no fun...

  7. It is actually a climbing wall and zipline. (I found some info when I looked up the Bayview YMCA.) And no, I didn't really get out and yell. I didn't even think of Rapunzel until I sat down to write something.

    Today I want to go for a long drive by myself and not come back until everyone else is in bed. Know what I mean? :)
