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

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.
