Vacation Part Deux

Glacial Pot Holes and The Bridge of Flowers-

The Bridge of Flowers is located in Shelburne Falls.  There is not much to do there, other than a short strip of shops, similar to what you'd find in any tourist trap.  The Glacial Potholes are a short walk down the street from the bridge giving the town three reasons to be visited.  The third being the candy and ice cream shop at the end of the bridge.  Which, if you go, stop there and get the Burnt Sugar ice cream, it's fantastic.  The kids really enjoyed the chocolate cookie dough ice cream.  I can't remember what every got, but it was all good!

The potholes are not as exciting to look at as I had hoped.  They have an interesting history though.  As the water rolled down the hill the small rocks would tumble around and create a small concave.  Over time that concave became a hole.  They have damed up the water flow.  They also don't allow anyone to get too close because too many have been hurt, and there is almost no way to get an ambulance down there.  In this picture you can see two small glacial potholes and a large one with less regular edges.  As well as a half hole that must have broken as the water direction changed, possibly from the damming of the water.
