We have been suffering from Spring like weather her in MA. Last week posted record cold temperatures for June. To our surprise we woke up to sunshine on Saturday.
Burke has been planning a canoe rip for his Boy Scouts on the Connecticut River. Their ending point is at at town called Turners Falls. There is supposedly a Public Boat Ramp and some Falls located there. Determined to take advantage of the dry weather we hit the road to go scout out the area.
The Public Boat Ramp was easy to find but we had a much harder time finding the falls.
We ended up walking down a bike trail that followed a branch of the CT River past long abandoned factories, a power plant, a whole bunch of "do not trespass" and Danger!! High Voltage" signs, across a treacherous looking bridge (the water was sure high!!! ) and finally we got a glimpse of the falls. The girls were so excited and I was relieved that we could deliver our promise of a waterfall.
As we headed back on the trail we found a turn off that led to a little museum. It was a great find. The girls were fascinated with the displays of wildlife on the Connecticut River.
It was a great adventure!!!
