In the ten years since I took this photo the trail has been abandoned and the tree has rotted away.

As a further nail in the coffin, the city is building a bypass through that spot now. Don’t Panic.

A combo of “one more lane will fix it” and “no goes there anyway.”

I walked along an empty path
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
Is this the Earth, beneath my feet?
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I’m getting old and I need something to rely on

And if you have a minute, why don’t we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don’t we go somewhere only we know?

I just finished chainsaw training so I can help maintain trails by removing hazards like that. There is a reason we call tes over trails like that ‘widow makers’. If you don’t help maintain good things we lose them.

I’m just glad you didn’t say it’s gone because it’s been turned into apartments or a shopping arena…

Are the surrounding trees and foliage still there?

Partly, there is a 4 lane bypass being built there.

Almost reflex downvoted, but it’s not your fault.

Ah, bummer

Nope, I cleared the whole thing so I could build a concrete pad to practise my dance moves.

They renamed the town on my passport.

“Where were ya born?”

“I can’t say it right”

“Write it here”

“I can’t remember the special letters.”

That’s gorgeous. Would love to see an impressionist painting of it.

This looks SO much like the conservation land that was behind my childhood back yard in Massachusetts

What trail was it?
