Well, you asked for it, you got it. On Saturday,
October 14, 2000 your Webmaster and "The Staff of One" set off
on a trek to the Rustic Bridge. It was a wonderful day, the sun was out,
the birds were singing, it was a great day for a walk in the woods. We
arrived at the bathhouse about 2:15pm and set out on our task. About ten
minutes of strolling by ourselves, we heard a strange sound. It was like
no bird I have ever heard, it's call was "Glennniss...". At
that time we realized that it wasn't a bird but some classmates that wanted
to join us on our jaunt to the Rustic Bridge. As they rounded the corner
we saw it was Priscilla (Knight) Elliott (1956), Linda
(George) Massey (1956) and Daniel Malloy Jr. (1986) After a few minutes
of introductions and pleasantries we set off again on our stroll. Along
the way Priscilla, Linda, Dan and Glenis reminisced of their youth playing
in The Parklands. After a while we heard a strange noise and the ground
began to rumble. All of a sudden around the bend came the source of the
commotion. It was the State Police playing with one
of their toys. What a site to see on the path. We all wondered it
the bridge would still be standing after the tracked vehicle passed. We
arrived at the bridge and found it was indeed still standing. As I took
the pictures, the gang went to the bridge to wait for me to finish my
work. While waiting, Priscilla took the opportunity to promote the web
site to anyone that passed along the bridge. After my work here was
done, we continued on, following the old Hopedale-Grafton railroad
tracks, back to civilization. An enjoyable
day was had by all. |
