On Thursday, following up on trop81's post on the Batsto church bridge, I went to take a look around that area. Later, after walking a section of the old road on the other side of the bridge, there was enough sunlight left for a quick trip around Tom's Pond trail.
At the Batsto-Pleasant Mills UMC cemetery, I happened upon a stone that could possibly mark a distant relative (by blood or marriage).
Along the Nescochague Creek near the bridge, there were the remains of a deer, sitting on a little piece of ground as if they were on a bier.
This unexpected message was found on the back of the barrier by the far (and currently unbroken) side of the bridge.
Not far from the bridge, the road was badly washed out.
In that frozen washout puddle, there was this interesting pattern in the ice.
These were along the walkway near the beginning of Tom's Pond trail.
A beaver slapped its tail and skedaddled on my approach. It made a clean getaway, leaving ripples in its wake.
This was a trail marker. Now it's a marker indicating that it got way too hot there.
