The old stone grill was found in the woods. The old stone grill was covered in moss. The old stone grill tells tales of the past. A tale of a place that has changed. There was something here once, That is gone now. The sunlight played off the moss, As I pondered the past. Families gathered around. Smoke wafting, Food cooking, Laughter, Smiles. Games. Fun. There are two trees now growing through the old stone grill. Do you know where this is? Many may know, but I almost missed it! Clue: It's within view of the Connecticut River, in a public place, near a trail. The Old Stone Grill Rests Silently in the Woods Thanks for checking out Old Roads, Rivers and Rails of the Upper Valley

So where is it?

In the woods, not far from the start of the Boston Lot trail, across from the Wilder Dam. I'd like to go back in time, 35 years ago, when I moved to the Upper Valley. I used to drive by there all the time back then. I'm thinking there may be more grills in the woods around there.

When I was in second grade the Wilder Dam was brand new, and our school went on a bus trip there from Woodstock. We ate our lunches overlooking the river, and I'll bet these old grills date from that time, though I have no recollection of them now. I remember sitting at a picnic table while a man told us about the dam. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
