Cascading Waters can be found at 135 Olean Street on the eastern edge of Worcester's northwest parklands, the Cascades. The Cascades are 350 acres of park and conservation lands along the borders of Worcester, Paxton, and Holden, Massachusetts. Home to countless species of plants and animals, the Cascades are open to passive recreation year-round.

Feeling like fall

I suppose that makes it easier to get on a school bus this morning.
At 8:15 am, it is 62 degrees
92 humidity
Clear high skies with the barometer steady at 30.00 inches
It looks as though Cook's Pond is gradually refilling across the street; good, as we aren't up for rain until this weekend.

We didn't get to posting yesterday, as it was the remainder of a take-down day for the Outpost. We had a busload of Holy Cross students here at 9:30. Heading up to the Cascades, they carried out the (giant, heavy) tent, camping supplies, and finally the two sections of platform. They, and that load, made it back down here for lunchtime.

(Just in time for the Lodge dwellers to make tracks for Freeport, as we've got a kindergartener who was in need of a backpack!)

So the Outpost is down for the winter, with all stored away in hopes of another round next summer!

Maine is a long way to go for a backpack...

You're right. It turned out, though, that when we did it for the first child, the second child decided it was a tradition.
Let this be a warning to you!
