Without Jason’s patient and amazing technological help, there would be no photos today. Thank you, Jason for bailing me out with such kindness and expertise.
The Dam Trail is dear to the hearts of the Thursday hikers not only for the visible dam remains of the catastrophic failure of the dam in 1874 but also for the many hours we have volunteered to help the Williamsburg Trail Committee bring this great trail to reality.
I spied a wee seedling (will it become a pine tree?) that was stunning in its diminutive beauty.. The trails (up up and up some more) were muddy in spots, the streams were all running full, and Professor Borton (aka Tony) regaled us with historical lectures along the way. We stopped and admired the bridges that some of us had helped build, as well as the fast running water beneath them. I can’t believe I have no photos of the dam remains, but I don’t!
Several hours later we arrived back down at the picnic table that we Thursday hikers had given to the Williamsburg Trail Committee. It’s placed beneath an old apple tree and is a perfect lunch spot. We ate our bag lunches and celebrated Tonys 84th birthday with two Rhubarb Cream pies and Crown fit for the Pope himself for Tony. See some of you very soon. Conway is starting to burst its seams with pride for our 250th anniversary. Love to all of you, Penny
