Hike of Hodges Village DamOxford, MASeptember 30th, 2012 |
And so the six of us set out to explore those very trails. We started from atop the dam, which was built by the Army Corps of Engineers, and proceeded north along the river's east bank. |
The overcast skies shed just a few raindrops but didn't dampen our spirits or the vibrancy of the fall foliage colors. | |
You might think the dampness of the river basin would be a haven for mushrooms of all varieties and colors. Well, you'd be right! We even encountered some that were about a foot in size. |
|
There were animals too... a really cool turtle alongside the trail and some frogs chillin' out in a mud puddle. |
Jake, Thomas, Jingbang, Rebecca and Tom occupy the foot bridge. |
The French River flows beneath the foot bridge. |
At the end of our hike we found ourselves at Hodges Village Pond, just beneath the dam. Jake gave us an impressive stone-skipping display across the pond, with more rapid-fire hops than we could possibly count. |
