I had to go to Willimantic today to pick up my repaired Doumbek so I thought "why not ride a bit of the rail trail?"Ages ago, I did the Airline Trail East Chatham to Willimantic LINK > and last summer I rode the Hop River trail south from Bolton Notch ALMOST to Willimantic LINK > but there were a few gaps I wanted to ride.
The weather was nasty: cold and overcast so I only rode to and from the Mackey's Store but at least I nearly closed one of the "gaps".

| I started here |
 |
| Perhaps someone very overweight sat here? :-) |
 |
| I am sure this is beautiful in the fall |
 |
| Ah - how cool: a RR tie bench! |
 |
| Lots of RR equipment here - will visit this summer! |
 |
| At the junction - I was here back in 2016 |
 |
| Neat - see Further Info link below |
I am sure there was a mill here long ago
Remnants of the Train Station Platform...
I then drove further east and saw this massive former mill- WOW! (See Further Details Below)
Heres the famous Textile Museum right across from the mill - I will definitely will visit it this summer
Lastly the famous Frog Bridge ;-)
