August 1st, 2002... Fifteen Years Ago Today Part 1...
Going back to 2002, 15-years ago today, and a camping trip in Savoy Mountain State Forest. I have pictures dated for August 1st & August 2nd.
A nice thing about the August 1st pictures, the reminder that they offer, is what "Lost Pond" once looked like. It was beautiful, and clear, with two or three levels or tiers of beaver ponds below it. At some point in time, about ten-years ago, the beaver activity really increased and changed the entire landscape.
At some point this fall, I plan on going back and covering the Blackburnian Loop, the North Pond Loop, and the fairly recently named "Lost Pond Trail". It will be interesting to see what the area looks like, as my last visit 3 or so years ago showed a very changed landscape.
From that day fifteen years ago at Lost Pond, I also ventured up to Spruce Hill from the Blackburnian Loop, or Lost Pond as it is now called. What a peaceful spot to sit and think.
