The looks on some of their faces are just priceless. :)

Ed the Wizard Runs Zoar Gap

The kayakers didn't seem to be up to the challenge today but Ed the Wizard, a local entertainer and magician, and his family were having a ball on their whitewater raft.

Zoar Gap

Haven't been up to Zoar Gap in Charlemont in a long time. Not sure what the class is of this white water run but I think it may be a class IV rapid. No kayakers brave enough to run it today while I was there...

Lake Pleasant

I took the shortcut on my way back from Amherst today and passed through the tiny village of Lake Pleasant. This is such a weird and energetically creepy place, full of rotting little camp houses and lake homes. It dates from the mid 1800's with origins as a New England spiritualist community and some of those traditions apparently continue to this day. Anyway, the Bridge of Names which overlooks the lake is a unique spot and certainly worthy of some quick shots. I believe the names on the boards were of people who were members of the community over the years.
