Bundle 1 go there

On Sunday day I drove around the park. This was the first time that I experienced the entire park. Its huge. I drove around the park and snapped various pictures of what there was to do and see because I had intend to do a photo essay about the park. The one thing that I found that was great was the number of bathrooms. I probably sound like a loon saying that, but I'm one of those people who always has to pee, and I hate porta potties. (TMI) It was amazing to see the number of people using the park for large family parties. Having a rather small family with big yards everything was done at home, so this was a new thing for me. I never thought what do you do when you don't have a large space to host a function. Plus this place has a variety of amenities that could entertain a large group. Fields to play a variety of sports and swimming for the kids. I was also surprised that there was a spot to fish and a boat launch available to the public. I didn't think there would be one. I also drove by the stables that the park has located on the grounds, I didn't go in and visit, seen one horse seen them all. I have a friend who ones a horse farm and its not a big thrill to see horses. But I do remember as a kid that I loved horses and a day spent riding would have been great fun. It was interesting to see how much could be done at one location with a little ingenuity.

Having a family that never went to parks, other than the occasional lunch with my grandparents in Colt State park it interesting to see the various activities that families can be involved in. I come from a family where everything was kept private. If we wanted to go to a beach there was a private beach at my grandparents, or the house in Maine that was on a private lake that was open to the public because of the owners. I've probably been tainted because of the elitist atitude that comes with having these things at your disposal. I've never had to think of what do people do who don't have the kind of resources that I've always had. Its the same thing with a farmer's market. I can't understand why people go to these things. But I've always been exposed to fresh produce and vegetables. We had gardens and grew food, I tell my mother that what we called poor when I was a kid people call organic today. But I've also had a change of life style I've moved from the country to the city and they way of life here is very different for what I'm used to. We canned food in my family up until 2003, we stopped because our lifestyle had changed and the family influences that kept up that life style changed as well.

I know that I'm off with my sources. I didn't realize that we needed three separate kinds so I'll ask my friendly librarian to help with that one because I'm not finding any print books that mention the park. I've even tried the state park system and there seems to be a lack of information. But I think that may be me. Thankfully my mother's a librarian and she loves the little mystery projects that I ask her to help with. Maybe there's something in the government archives because of the WPA involvement in the 1930s? Could I use the history of the WPA as a source? The basis for why these projects were done and what the public benefit was seen as being may be interesting.
