This blog is so busy with the flow of views and comments and demands for more and newer information that I feel, some days, that I may go quite mad. And Flat Pond, in particular, is top of the list of viewers who want to know “why”.
So, I felt an update was necessary today, particularly due to the excessive precipitation we have been enduring these last several days. So, whilst out to get my 13,000 daily steps, I visited the holy site and reflected upon just what the “why” of Flat Pond is and how that “why” continues to wend its way thru my life and the life of countless others and where the "why" is leading us and when it will all end or not end.
The spillway pipe continues to swallow down gallons of fresh water each minute. Clearly the where is answered here and therefore needs no further discussion.
And Flat Pond exhibits its own special majesty it is abundantly clear what the how is or was.
The motion of the flow is simply mesmerizing. Nothing satisfies us more, in our later years, than a healthy flow. This answers better than any other the what of the matter.
And no self respecting retrospective of FPD would be complete without a view of Rick's Tree in perspective. And if we were to chop down Rick's Tree to read the rings, we would know so well the when of Flat Pond Dam.
I hope this clears up all the questions posed in the comments section of this blog but please feel free to keep the queries coming...
