Walden Pond - 11/14/07 - 03_01

SInce I mentioned the book Walden, here's a photo of Walden Pond. I visited this site a couple of times when I was living in New England.

From the parking area you can take a short walk to the site of Thoreau's cabin. The original cabin is gone; the hearth was excavated about 60 years ago. At the end of his 2-year stay, Thoreau dismantled and recycled the cabin. A replica is near the parking area at the park headquarters.
