Back Road
This is an early morning fog shot down memory lane. It doesn't look like much now, but this used to quite a treacherous ride down the back hill from the Westbrook College campus. What now is a dirt road with just lingering bits of discarded tar at the side was once a near-perfect glide over tar for about a 1/2 mile downhill cutting a wide swarth through the woods behind Gulliver's Field. The run started at the back of the college grounds near Evergreen Cemetery, continued past the Field turnoff, and the old lovers lane, took a wide turn and ended at the bottom alongside Gulliver's Pond. A gang of kids and their bikes would travel!

that sounds like one wild ride...especially in the fog!
ReplyDeleteSo it wouldn't be as much fun?
ReplyDeleteIt still looks like a pretty good place to go.
ReplyDeletewhat a great photo and sweet memories, once again.

ReplyDeleteLooks like a great place for some adventurous boys to gather. In response to your question about the Paperback Writer song on my blog...it was being performed by The Punch Brothers. Essentially a modern Bluegrass Band, they also cover many songs and even do some Bach and Mozart. Talented guys.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so peaceful now!

ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful place for a bike ride, even now! The beauty of autumn is very special.
ReplyDeleteI bet those kids had a ball. Specially dodging the chunks of blacktop. Now it looks pretty tame but beautiful. The fog is a nice touch. MB

ReplyDeleteLooks perfect for a walk or a horseback ride too!
ReplyDeleteI like the curve of the road, the trees losing their leaves and the mist. Nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story! This is similar to how it looked when I walked this morning with friends in central Wisconsin.
