Greenwood Pond

Greenwood Pond

(At the base of Borestone Mountain)

I guess I was expecting something more spectacular; could it be that my memory of Greenwood Pond   ( 50+ years ago) could be that distorted?? Or  quite probably it was the time of year when I revisited that made the difference.  I decided that the time of year was definitely the reason for the “letdown”

A wharf  extending into Greenwood Pond.

It is here that hikers begin the actual “work” of  climbing the mountain. That would not be me ’cause my main objective was to see the pond and climbing mountains of any size just does not appeal to me. Could it be that my fear of heights has something to do with this. Yup. I betcha it does lol. I use the word fear, but it’s more like a sick feeling in the gut when I look down from great hights. Well, I guess that’s what fear can do to ya.

The trail below is closed: darn, steps too. If there were steps up the mountain, I might put aside my fear of  heights and go on up!
