  1. I really look forward to the weekly contributions! Great as always!
    Elizabeth Mehlin- The textured sand beneath fateful Flagstaff Lake provides a rhythmic visual-thanks for sharing this!

  2. Thanks, Cindy, for your thank you. The sand ripples were a total surprise. They were everywhere and everywhere they were different. What fun! The Maine Hut trailhead will take you right to the shore.

  3. I’m confused – growing up in Wilton we went swimming in WILSON LAKE – has the name been changed? I see postings with WILTON LAKE, and WILSON POND. Clarification would be appreciated.

  4. This Pond is in route 156 and perhaps it is Hill Pond. I would love some help with this one. It us a great fishing Pond.

  5. Thanks, Mort. You and my brother Jim both supplied the right name, Hills Pond. I much appreciate the help. Flat in bed with a cold so I couldn’t go and check for myself.
