Snowmobile Turnaround

You can still just make out the snowmobile tracks on the river from some days back.  Talking with some long-time residents, I heard that making a snowmobile trek from Bridgewater down through Woodstock was often the subject of a bet.  One informant said, with a certain nonchalance, that maybe he had done it once or twice.  He went on to say the scenery was great, and the water beneath the ice never very deep.  He noted that just before the Taftsville dam, miles downriver from the village, the tracks of a snowmobile doing a U-turn could be seen.  On my way out of town this afternoon, he caught a glimpse of that myself.

With warmer temperatures today, a new lead opened up just upstream of the bridge.  Snowmobile season may be over.
