The water was only about 2 feet deep and very muddy! if you tried to really get some power on you stroke youd hit the bottom.

and Finally when the oppurtunity to take a Picture of a Cutie , I must do so !

16 miles!

I ride the BV Canal area A LOT. I grew up in those towns.

Did you head up to King Phillps Rock at all, just up the road from the rock bridge near Tri River? From there you can go down to the West Hill Dam. Lost of riding there.

How about all of the singletrack out there on the Northbridge side?

I just realized what you meant about the sewage plant. All of the locals call it, "the sewer beds". You must have crossed 122 there, correct? I've never been on that side of the road... I imagine the ball fields are for the school they build just up the road from there a few years back.

Did you check out all of the satellite dishes near the sewer beds? Those things are HUGE.
