Lost in Thought

It has been a while, I know. Work and such. Also rain and cold are not conducive to wandering because it makes for cruddy road conditions. I was able to do a little exploring in Somerset County, not much though. Some nice road signs that I will post. This past weekend was pretty decent, so I was able to go for a walk on the D&R towpath with the girlfriend. I have always like the towpath. The slow-moving water, not too much modern noise, (Depending of course, where you are, the stretch on Easton Ave is most definitely not quiet.) and the fact that I can generally get lost in the moment. A slow wind, the quiet flow of the water, the birds returning, and the trees budding; I can almost feel how it might have once been back then. All I need is a tethered mule. It is pretty though, especially the stretch between Griggstown and Blackwell Mills. There are some period buildings; some occupied while others are not.
