Brownington Congregational ChurchWe did this quest on Wednesday, July 16 — a very short quest, appropriate for our schedule that day. I've been to Prospect Hill many times and always am astounded at the views. Wingnut didn't take any photographs of the mountains and lakes. But these photos give you a feeling for the area of the quest.

A gentleman from Massachusetts was able to reach the treasure box in the rafters for us and he took this photo of me and Wingnut.

_/\_/\_,
I took berry pictures yesterday. Gold and red. And a raspberry with a mix of color. I think you guys inspired me. Anyhow, I'll post them on Flickr next week.
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of you and Wingnut--and all the others too!
ReplyDeleteCool quest.
I'm just back from the Porcupine Mountains wilderness area, just got in, gotta unpack, do laundry, catch up.
This is actually the third observatory on this site. The 1976 replica was in poor repair by the turn of the century and was replaced at about this time with a second replica. I remember the second one being closed to the public for several years when it was no longer safe.
