Mill River Park

So I had an hour and a half to kill in Amherst this afternoon which prompted me to check out a the Mill River Park. This park had the standard things you might find in a neighborhood park, a playscape, ball fields and plenty of parking. But the Schmidtlets know there is more going on here than a standard playground.

I cut between the ballfields and crossed this cool bridge.


Mill River Park personal shrine
I followed the trail for awhile then walked along the river taking pictures. I came across this monument to someone who has passed who was obviously loved by others.

It was a very nice area.


Structure made from tree branches and debris at Mill River Park
I came upon this structure as I was roaming around the trails. I'm not sure what they were trying to accomplish here but it looked interesting in the sunlight.

Large section of river bank broken off at Mill River Park.
This entire bank of trees had broken off at some point. It made me think of what may happen to California someday.
