Open Letter To Fred Bodin

Posted on by Marty Luster

First, please read this GMG post of April 30, 2013.

“Where Is This?”

Now, the following open Letter to Fred will make sense.

Dear Fred,

Barbara and I took a walk today to Wingaersheek Beach. As we walked past the auxilliary parking lot on the right (before the main entrance) I realized that if I could see through the trees on the far side of the parking lot, the view would approximate that seen in the photo that accompanied the one of the huge round boulder we have been searching for.

When I got home, I went to Google Earth and found what might be the escarpment described in the letter that mentions the old photos and says that the picture was taken “from in front of the boulder at the edge of the cliff.”

If that is the cliff, our mystery boulder should be in the dense trees and foliage just to the west of the red circled structure (the “cliff?”) in the screen shot of the Google Earth image and just east of the small parking lot.

One more reason for you to keep on keepin’ on so we can find Moby Rock together.

Marty

  3. Thanks Marty. I’m hoping to be able to bushwhack in the woods before Thanksgiving. This is a good lead to rediscovering the famous Round Rock which overlooks Wingaersheek Beach. As I recover, every day brings me closer to the rock. We’ll find it.

  4. Riding the CATA ADA Dial-a-Ride bus to the gallery this morning (Saturday, 9/20/14), driver Kerry told me about Sunset Hill, which overlooks Wingaersheek and the Annisquam River. He thinks Round Rock may be nearby. He’ll look and maybe take a picture.
