P-Doug took this shot of a mailbox at the site of the foundation north of the pond. We have no way of knowing if it's associated with the site itself, and it's a fifteen minute walk here from the road. Really, it might belong to any of the houses that have been torn down on the south end of the road.

P-Doug took this shot of the foundation of whatever it was that once stood north of the pond. Someone has spray painted "RESPECT NATURE" on the pouring.

Obviously when this was a going concern, the apartment buildings weren't there yet. Bayview connected with Lawrence again at the top of the hill.

I think this is a beautiful, nearly idyllic shot, though I say it myself. It seems almost like something from a dream, doesn't it? An open gate, a sunlit field, and a well-tree clay-bottomed road inviting you in. To me, this is archetypal rural North America, something fast disappearing.

There's a depression in the grass where a deer must have been lying till just moments before we arrived.
