Ashley Reservoir – one more reason Holyoke is awesome

We’ve been taking to walks on Ashley Reservoir (three times in the past week-and-a-half). I’d never been there until this month, which is an unbelievable factoid. Other factoids:

1. Matt and I have devised a rock-kicking game. The object of the rock-kicking game is to kick a rock down the path as we go along. Whoever kicks the rock into the water loses.

2. The one thing I hate about Ashley Reservoir right now is the bug-swarming problem.

    I love how the paths wind their way through the MIDDLE of the water. It’s really kind of neat.

    I haven’t been there in years but if I remember correctly when the reservoir level is high you end up with a choice of wading through a foot or two of water or walking all the way back around.

    Is a factoid a fact from outer space?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factoid – I guess it’s something Norman Mailer invented. Who knew. I guess I’m using it wrong.
