Spruce Pond - two views

Walking Sunday, I found my way to the inside of Spruce Pond to take this photo looking towards King St

reflections on Spruce Pond

The view from King St was able to capture a more dramatic view of the clouds in the sky.

The Spruce Pond Creamery can be seen in the distance in the second view.

Road crack seal

One of the methods of extending the life of a road was observed on my walk Sunday afternoon. The crack seal had been freshly laid on Everett St (off Union St near King St).

The DPW road program was outlined earlier this year at the Town Council meeting March 19th. The presentation document and my notes can be found here

FYI - speaking of roads, RT 140 between Beaver and Union St was shut down Monday night as the state worked on the road. They were grinding up the surface to prepare to repave. I had been on RT 140 on Saturday and did not see any notification of such work coming. Nor had it started. It was needed. I do distinctly recall navigating within the lane to avoid potholes. As most of the stretch from the i495 to Beaver was already scrapped up, they must have worked quickly on Sunday.
