When I got up yesterday it was overcast again (still) and I was really hoping for a beautiful partly cloudy day. I had planned to go to Groton but I had no one to go with and while I'm pretty confident I could have handled it by myself my mother planted enough seeds of doubt so I instead arranged to go with a friend on a different day (thanks Mom LOL). As a mother myself I get it.
So instead I decided to check out Belvidere Pond again, and maybe some back roads in Johnson/Jeffersonville that I hadn't seen yet. Belvidere Pond looked like this a week or so ago when Kris and I drove up:

It's pretty and all, but I knew it was going to get better. Around 10:00 there started to be breaks in the clouds and I jumped in the car with camera in hand on my adventure!
First I drove from Milton to Cambridge via Milton-Westford Road to Route 128 to Route 104, stopping at Fairfax Falls to see the view from up there.

I decided to go across the bridge to River Road in order to take a more scenic approach to Cambridge, since I'd already been through parts of Cambridge this week!
From Cambridge I headed to the little roundabout thingie that took me to Route 109 through Waterville and into Belvidere:
Then I left and headed back toward the beautiful intersection of 118 and 109...
When I got to Montgomery (which was not my original destination lol) I was hoping there would be a place to park so I could walk around. Alas, as I am not familiar with the area, I did not find such a place. So I had to stop on the road a few times (very little traffic at this time of day) and pull over in a couple of spots to get any pictures.

| And we're back in Belvidere! |
On my way back from Montgomery towards Cambridge, I decided to hook a left down a road that my college friends and I used to drive down. Amazing how you don't notice the beauty of a place when you are using it for a short cut to somewhere else as a teenager ;)
I thought I'd go through Fletcher and try to find Metcalf Pond again...didn't quite work out that way!
 |
| Umm....River Road...I've seen this before |
 |
| Hmmm this looks familiar!! |

Back on 104!!!
It was a long trip but very worth all the house work I didn't get to do :)
