The Goonies and Barre Falls Dam

Does this desire, to see the inside, to know, live in everyone like it does in me?

Henry had his outing with the boyscouts today at Barre Falls Dam. I have gone to this place since I was tiny. I actually learned how to ride a motorcycle on the driveway there. There is this cement building at the top of the dam that I have never been able to get into.... and it was bothering me.

I just need to know what its like! I need to see! Maybe its awesome in there? Its the whole Goonies mentality. Under every wishing well there really needs to be some sort of aqueduct of cave system leading to buried treasure and pirate ships. Right? I think so. It is no different with this building at Barre Falls Dam. You can imagine my disappointment when it looks primarily the same on the inside as on the out... cement.

Still, who knows. Maybe the lower levels are cool. :)

Henry also sat through a pretty cool presentation on hides and skulls. The two employees, each still comfortably in their teens, did a bang up job of keeping the scouts interested. They seemed like really nice kids, one of which was an eagle scout from Henry's troupe. I was almost an eagle scout (maybe we'll talk more about that later). :)

ps, don't you love Henry's hat? He decided a couple of days ago to put a feather that he found in our backyard in it (love).
