I stopped here on my way to Walden Pond 'cuz the gas was cheap - and it turned out to be "full service"! How weird!

|
This one captures, for me, the feel of that walk.
|
OK, maybe this one's better :-)
|
See how I caught the wind on the water?

|
Red could become my favorite color if I spent enough time here.
