Walden Pond (Pics)

Cool, thanks for sharing the pics!

I've been way out for 23 years now and there is nothing like it to me.
I don't know if I'll ever be able to live near a another house again. The pease it brings me is hard to explain.

Others I know love there subdivsions and there many neighbors. Like I just said in another thread, the world would be a boring place if we all felt the same.
And I don't want any more moving out here in the country:grumpy: Well they can't get near me, the mountain behind me is to steep to build on and the creek across the road floods the fields as far as I can see.

Come on. When I was a whiney liberal back in HS I thought he was a whiney liberal. He couldn't hack it as a farmer or mountain man and thought someone else should do it for him. I was always more of an Emerson man, myself. At least he had the cash to fund himself. ;)
 
Note: Personal opinions on Thoreau have no bearing on how cool that area is and how neat it was to see those pix. Maybe my thoughts on HDT have been slightly magnified when the likes of Ed Begly Jr. and Don Henley get involved.
 
Awesome pics... and a great place to visit!!!

Thanks for sharing these. :thumbup: :thumbup:

You know... we really need to put together a New England Hogs, Rats, & Dogs get together...
it would be a ton of fun! :)

Thank you.

Reminds me that there are plenty of things I have left to do. And some of them are in my back yard. :thumbup:
 
Great photos - brings back memories of my visit to Walden Pond about 10 years ago. Ironically, I wasn't in my backpacking gear, boots and jeans, but rather in a pin stripe suit and wingtips following a nearby meeting at corporate HQ - how the dreams of one's youth get changed!
Two quick little-known facts: Ol' HDT may have built his retreat in the woods, but he still had his Mother and Sister deliver hot meals and fresh laundry to him from time to time - I suspect many of you have experinced more wilderness and demonstrated more self-reliance than he did - but what do you expect from a writer (guilty of the nasty habit myself).
The other thing is that Ol' HDT was what we today would call the CEO of a rather prestigious pencil company that imported its wares as far as Europe - he even developed the modern method of making a pencil without splitting the wood in half! 'Coursew if he had any INFI, he probably would have kept splitting them just for fun...
Enjoy, Bloody Bill
