The message came out, ”trip to Rockwood Conservation Area”, Sunday January 31, 2010. The weather did not look promising, there was little warning about the trip, but it was a chance to get together with friends. Eight of us decided to make the trip. We met at the Quality Inn and headed out at 9:05.
It was a cold and a light snow was falling but we had a blast. The pictures, at least mine, were not too great. The snow left a lot of dandruff type spots on my pictures and the sky was grey leaving my pictures almost black and white.
Those were minimal issues. The important result was that we had fun and laughs and got to experiment with our cameras and different settings. I also learned to take along warmer mittens.
I had seen pictures from Rockwood before but they only included the mill. There is a river with a couple of dams for photo opportunities. There is a trail that wanders beside the river.
I found some interesting rock formations visible from the water which was fortunately frozen. The park has a unique geological history that has left it with glacial bluffs, potholes and caves.
As I am posting this note I just realized I should have read the previous post “Just because it is cold out there……..” prior to going.
Will we go back, a definite yes, maybe when it is warmer.
