“Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.” — Dorothea Lange

Thank you for all the new views and likes from last week, it helps keep me inspired.

This was the original summit benchmark on Wachusett Mountain.

01/01/1844 by CGS (SEE DESCRIPTION)

DESCRIBED BY COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY 1844 ON THE SUMMIT ON WACHUSETT MOUNTAIN, ABOUT 8 MILES SW OF FITCHBURG, 3-1/4 MILES SSW OF WACHUSETT VILLAGE AND 2-3/4 MILES N OF PRINCETON CENTER. THE STATION IS ON A DETACHED ROCK ABOUT 4 FEET BY 2 FEET AND IS MARKED BY A COPPER BOLT SET IN THE ROCK. THREE REFERENCE MARKS, HOLES DRILLED IN ROCKS, AND FILLED WITH LEAD AND COPPER TACKS, WERE PLACED IN THE FORM OF AN EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE ABOUT THE STATION AT DISTANCES OF 11 FEET 11-3/4 INCHES TO THE NNE, SE BY S, AND W BY S, RESPECTIVELY. IN 1884 ONLY THE LAST-NAMED REFERENCE MARK REMAINED, THE OTHERS HAVING DISAPPEARED IN THE COURSE OF CONSTRUCTION OF A ROAD AND THE ERECTION OF A HOTEL CALLED THE SUMMIT HOUSE. IT WAS ALSO REPORTED THAT THE ROCK BEARING THE STATION MARK WAS MOVED TO BE USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE HOTEL, BUT, SUBSEQUENTLY ON LEARNING THAT IT WAS AN IMPORTANT MARK OF THE COAST SURVEY, AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO RESTORE IT TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION. THE MASSACHUSETTS TOPOGRAPHICAL SURVEY COMMISSION HAVING OCCASION IN 1895 TO USE THE POINT, AND LEARNING OF ITS REPORTED REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT, DETERMINED THE POSITION OF THE COPPER BOLT AS FOUND AND CALLED THE STATION WACHUSETT 2. THEIR FINAL COMPUTATION INDICATES THAT WACHUSETT 2 IS 0.3 METER S AND 0.2 METER E OF THE ORIGINAL STATION.

One of my good friends passed away this week from ALS. He had great faith and always looked on the bright side.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. My he rest in peace. Amen.

That is all for now. Until next week, be safe.
