On to the Pot Holes at the end of our trip












We followed the river that runs under the Bridge of Flowers and finally came upon an amazing sight. As the last ice age in North America came to a close massive glaciers that covered most of the country began to melt. As they did enormous torrents of water were released. In this area of New England this rushing water picked up smaller stones and swirled them around in whirl pools that formed. Over time these stones carved circular pockets into the under lying granite. You can see the results!
