See what I mean?
I has the oppourtunity to be downtown a bunch of weeks back, and wander all over my old haunts. I hadnt done an in depth wander since before Covid. So many changes, so quiet, so dead. Everywhere felt worn out and tired. Slumped. Lost the wind in its sails. get me?
At the tail east end of Wilhaven Drive. The google streetview from 2021 looks occupied. Now, not so much. Wilhaven is a wonderful east west run skirting under Cumberland.
You head into this blind downhill corner, you have to gear down just in case, and as you clear the trees you get this view. Just Amazing.
The amount of sediment in that water… I ride through this area often. Beautiful back roads.
And other times you wonder what the backstory is. What lives were lived, secrets were told in the dark, what fate befell the occupant. After all, chinese lanterns dont plant themselves.
Just another relic of a time past. Some still in use, other crumbling memories.
