Bradley Palmer State Forest & The Ipswich River

View toward the Ipswich River from the parking area on Wheelock Street. The buildings barely discernible to the right are the home and offices of Foote's Canoe Rental.
A different angle out to the field.

The Ipswich River as it meanders under the wooden bridge on Wheelock Street. Now that I think of it, it might be Wheeler Street. Darn. If I don't right things down ....
Today was an unusual weather day. Here we've gone from bone chilling cold to warmer temps with rain and then into this afternoon -- 49 degrees, no sun, but lots of clouds and as you leave town and head into Ipswich following along the river and heading to the coast, the mist rises off the river and gives the drive an ethereal quality.
Not sunny and bright, but pretty just the same.

For people who live in a place where the colors of fall are brown, tan and beige, those pictures are a dang postcard for the soul.

It looks like a great place to live if there weren't so many liberals. LOL

Maybe I'm just naturally morbid, but I can totally imagine a body washing up there...with eeri violin music in the background.

a proud liberal

Yes Russ. It is the perfect spot. Sadly, during a weather event termed 'The Mother's Day Floods of 2006', two men were swept away by the Ipswich River and later found ... elsewhere.
