The Charles River at
South Natick, Mass.
Back in high school a history teacher
quizzed us on where the Charles River ended. The river has always
been well-known as an aqua landmark between Boston and Cambridge
and never thought of as a body of water that went beyond the
two cities. Answers ranged from, of course, Boston to as far
as California (the student who answered this was the embodiment
of Jeff Spicoli, before "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"
was ever conceived. It turned out the Charles River ends in Bellingham,
Mass., about 30 miles southwest of Boston. Pictured left is one
of the prettiest areas of the Charles River, close to the impressively
thunderous South Natick Dam in historic South Natick (about the
halfway point between Boston and Bellingham). It's a short hike
off Route 16 and Elloit St., to the river, a pleasant stop along
the way to enjoy the scenery of New England.
