I love Stonybrook because

I love Stonybrook because it's sort of unlovable. Our own scrubby rocky little wetland, with no "pretty" things in it, really, but the best darn woodland with a Dunkin Donuts at its edge that you can find. I did hear red-winged blackbirds there this summer.

I love the story, reprinted from the Boston Globe of March 14, 1893, of the Perilous Trip by boat through the Stony Brook conduit from the gatehouse (?) to the Fens and back. I had no idea the tunnel was so large.

It's really a wonderful site you've put together there, Mark -- thanks for that!
