My buddy Greg grew up in Hartford, VT, but had never been to see the old abandoned village of Podunk along the AT between West Hartford and Norwich, so off we went, with my kids along for the adventure.
Abby wanted me to make sure I got the bug in the Trout Lily shot. She's studying insects for 2nd Grade science.
In keeping with the science theme, we found this owl pellet containing what I think are mouse bones right on the AT.
Those creative Dartmouth Outing Club sawyers! Podunk Road....almost there!
Checking out one of the many cellar holes, we imagined who lived there and how their lives may have been different than our are today.
Here were are at the Parkhurst Cemetery in downtown Podunk. We did some gravestone rubbings.
Abby found this bone....we think it may be the ball of a cow femur...
On the way back down the AT to the car we decided to dip our feet in Podunk Brook to cool off.
Its funny. All three kids take something so different from a trip like this. Ethan likes finding the old stuff, like cellar holes, old wells, and old metal "stuff". Abby wants to pick up bones, and take pictures of bugs, and Emma collects rocks from everywhere she goes, and then puts them under her pillow at night. Maybe I have a historian and a couple budding scientists on my hands!
