New Virtual Wilderness Getaway

The abandoned fire tower in my hometown. It was a great place to just sit, relax and enjoy the view.

 

I think Dusk is such a welcomed time during Summer.

 

You'd have to stay up there a while to make it worth the climb!

 

That was back when I was a scrappy young lad. I wouldn't make it past thje second row of steps today.

 

I climbed this lighthouse but I was a teen when I did.

 

I used to climb this tower when I was kid. Not much of a view from up top however there is an interesting story attached to it.

Eben Norton Horsford, A Professor at Harvard University (and a fulltime nut job) was convinced that in A.D. 1000, Leif Erikson sailed up the Charles River
and built a house in what is now Cambridge Mass.

Horsford did some digging and claims to have found some buried artifacts of Norse origin.

He had this tower built on the Weston/Waltham line (Near Brandeis University) marking the supposed location of a Viking Fort and City.

 

Are you ready, girl?
