Don't Leave your dishes in the sinkhole & other shots about town.

As I mentioned in the last ICD entry, the giant sinkhole that took out a fifty foot wide swath of the Manhan Rail Trail last year has been fixed. As you probably noticed, yesterday was a pretty sweet day. Nearly 70 in November, can't complain about that. Perfect day for a bike ride on the again fully intact trail. Above is a shot of what was until recently, the biggest sinkhole Easthampton's ever seen. Here are a couple more of the fix. I'm guessing if the rail trail is again attacked by a giant sinkhole, this would probably be the safest place on the 4.2 mile stretch to be.




A few more random shots from my ride...


The Ferry Street haunted house could use a little stimulus money...


Maybe someday I'll be able to dig back through my inventory of local shots and be able to use this one as a 'before shot'...



Or is it the Manhan Cat Trail?...


The old factory footbridge, now just an interesting photo opp on Lower Mill Pond...



There are still a few reminders of the trail's original use to be found along the trail...


I had a bit more daylight and couldn't resist the temptation to wander around the edge of the Nashawannuck mud flats...

A few interesting bits to be seen...

Apologies to those who live, or have lived, in Millwaukee. I'm fairly certain this isn't their best...

I opted not to dig underneath this brick and risk the chance of actually finding out what died on that date. Intriguing though...

Soas to not end on such a down note, here's another curious discovery...


Hope you're enjoying this balmy little indian summer, leaves be darned.

Good stuff Jim.. I so am interested in that Brick, that is a mystery. I need to do a pod shoot soon. I will stop in if I do it soon.
