The old homestead

[begreen]

Someone has posted a great drone video of my old digs. I lived here in the early 1970s and still call it my heart home. It's wonderful to see it hasn't changed much. Time seems to have left this corner of the Berkshires alone. You can still be on a mountaintop and only see an occasional church spire poking through the trees. In the video clearly visible are the houses where my MIL and also where my SIL lived. I lived back in a small cottage in the hills. Love the fall colors. This is New England at its best.

Definitely a beautiful area. I lived upstream just above the dam in Falls Village for a few years, and still have family in area. We canoed down to the bridge a few times...

Yes, we still have friends living in Falls Village. We used to have tubing parties down the Housatonic. Lots of fun.

Fantastic looking place. Would do some fishing in that river!

We didn't fish there back then. GE had messed it up north by dumping PCBs in Pittsfield. Now being cleaned up by the EPA and they are making good progress so it may be good for fishing again.
