Stevie.

 











Old navy fleece will forever make me think of you and the first time we really got to know each other. I honestly love that something that ridiculous is what our first real "memory/inside joke" was. We were in Hyannis, sitting on a hotel bed with Cat in someone's random room and Cat and I were talking pretty much fully in our inside jokes (like we usually did) and you were apparently feeling left out and confused and all I can see still is you leaning your face wicked close into mine because you were sitting across from me, looking me dead in the eyes and yelling, "Old Navy Fleece!!" and Cat and I lost it all over again and you were like, "NOTHING you guys are saying right now makes any sense, what the FUCK are we talking about?!?" 







You always made time to ask me about Soloe every time we talked....and you have the honor of being the only person (kind of) other than me to make it into all the bullshit court paperwork over the years. Although that became the biggest joke of all because no one knows who Steve Hynes is to this day.






Somehow the worst times didn't seem that bad with you around...we could laugh about everything years later, but even during it all we still made it through with a sense of humor. You just had that way about you that made everything feel like it was going to be alright.









There's way too much to even paint the true picture of what kind of friend you were but the rest is how I'll always remember you. We both struggled and succeeded at different times, sometimes together, but you'll forever be one of the best humans I ever got to know.












Fran and I just laughed about this exact night because we definitely ran through like 18 miles of Falmouth and he made us walk 10 feet behind him because he thought no one would stop to pick us up if he was seen with you and me. Which was probably true but whatever he can get away with shit like that. Both of you got away with too much when it came to me probably but I loved ya both, I still do and always will. Say hi to Dev for me and don't get into any more trouble because now there's a whole pack of you idiots running around up there.
And besides Dev, you're the only person since that's literally brought me to my knees when I heard what happened. It hurts like hell and I'm still kind of mad at you, but you and I both know I could never stay mad at you for long. Love you kiddo.

**URBAN EXPLORING/PARANORMAL POST** Visit to Wachusett Reservoir/Abandoned Clinton Train Tunnel

Image
  I took a day trip to the Wachusett Reservoir in Clinton, MA, which is actually the site of the Wachusett Dam. It impounds the Nashua River, creating the reservoir. Construction started in 1897 and was completed in 1905, and at its completion it was the largest public water supply reservoir in the world. It was the largest gravity dam in the world at that time as well.  During construction, churches, factories, homes, and schools within the valley had to be knocked down or moved. Roads and rail lines had to be relocated, a railroad tunnel and trestle had to be built in order to relocate the Central Massachusetts Railroad, and over four thousand bodies had be dug up and moved in the local Catholic cemetery.  As part of this rerouting, a .2-mile long tunnel was built that ran underneath a hill to the northeast of the reservoir. In the 1930s, freight traffic along the route began to dwindle, and by the late 1950s, both freight and passenger service had ceased. By the end of the 1970s, th

Mike Mondou, this one's for you.....

  Thank you. Thank you for bringing me back to life. Thank you for making me smile and laugh again. Thank you for forcing me to look at your face one last time before you left that first time we saw each other. Thank you for texting me back after I weirdly sent you my phone number. Thank you for letting me tattoo you...but really for letting me use it as an excuse to talk to you and get to know you better. And get to touch your hand. Thank you for that first kiss. "Fireworks" could never do it justice. Thank you for taking me out on an actual date. It was the most fun I've had doing anything in a really long time. Thank you for opening the car door for me. I don't even know if anyone besides a cop has ever actually done that for me.  Thank you for introducing me to your family. For better or worse, they all make up you in one way or another so I am eternally grateful for each and every one of them. Thank you for being so open and honest about your life from day 1. And

**URBAN EXPLORING/PARANORMAL POST** Visit to Purgatory Chasm!

Image
  Purgatory Chasm is located in Sutton, MA and was named a state park in 1919. According to popular theory, it was created around 14,000 years ago when glacial meltwater that had built up finally burst its restraints and rushed through the area. The torrent was so strong that it ripped through the landscape tearing pieces of bedrock along in its wake, carving the chasm we see today. It consists of a half-mile long stone wash that runs between the massive granite walls. At some points along the chasm trail, the walls rise 70 feet up into the air. Some of the stones overhang the hiking trails and ominously loom over your head. Some points of the hike narrow to cracks in giant rocks just a little over a foot wide. It has plenty of trails that run along side the chasm itself, and one that runs right through the amazing granite walls. I loved visiting this place, and I wish I had planned my timing better so I could explore more. This is a spot that I will 100% be visiting again. There is so
