August 2nd, 2002... Fifteen Years Ago Today Part 2...
Continuing from yesterday, my August 2nd pictures from Savoy '02 reveal a route from Burnett Pond, to the Carter Burying Ground, then to the Dunham Burying Ground. From there, I imagine I took a trip to Tannery Falls and/or Tower 51, but I honestly don't have records of it or photographs to jog my memory of what happened after the Dunham Lot.

The fact that 15-years ago today I was running through the woods photographing old forgotten graveyards tells me something about my obsession with such things. Realistically, I've been searching and finding old burying grounds for much longer in Savoy and Hawley. It amazes me that the old settlements were positioned in much different locales than what developed later on.
These are locations that are very special to me... they were in 2002, as well as much earlier. I continue to visit them and feel joy each time I am lucky enough to arrive.
