The Quabbin

This was a beautiful spring day - took all the bikes for a ride and a picnic at The Quabbin. What a fun, gorgeous day!!!
The Quabbin is a man-made lake, a reservoir actually, made in the 1930's when they relocated & then flooded four towns, dammed some areas in between & created this - 39 square miles of water to provide the residents of Boston with a clean water supply! Pretty amazing! Oh, and Boston is 80 miles away from here. Quite a project!



This day was perfect. But such a tease. The weather has only gone downhill since then. We are holding our breath for Spring to come and STAY!
