[at-l] Walden (was Bryson's Book)

[wolferrae@earthlink.net (Rogene Beers)]

Just missed seeing that pond when driving past it.  My ex a literary
ignorant person(rarely read a book) could not see the significance that the
pond holds on so many that love the woods so refused to stop..  I regret not
being able to get his cooperation to see the pond.  Maybe somday I will get
to Mass again.  How far is it away from the At?  Maybe I could blue blaze it
as a side walking trip.
