It is a pretty interesting place to visit and quite amazing that so much wreckage is still in good shape. Yes crunched up for sure. It is a crime to remove anything from the site, so that along with the fact that the plane was made of aluminum, means that there is a good amount of wreckage to check out.
We spent some time there and then headed off to the third piece of the Quabbin trifecta - Indian Kitchen.
Of course it was not made by Indians and is not a kitchen. It is a huge cave like structure that is the result of our ever present freeze thaw cycles. Karl and I have done some sleuthing and we had a guess as to where it is located. We read that there might be faint orange blazes leading up to the area. The rough location is the Northeast corner of Pottapaug Hill.
Sorry no UTM's I have not seen the coordinates published so I will keep them secret for now. I am guessing people like the challenge of finding the spot!
Well we found a couple of faint orange blazes and a very faint trail. The trail headed uphill about sooner than we thought it should. We really thought the kitchen was around the first P in Pottapaug on the map. After some wandering we found it.
As you can see the room is quite large and is a good place to find shelter if you needed it. We decided to cook lunch and found an interesting stone bench close by and in the sun.
After lunch we hiked back down to Dana town common and poked around a little.
Someone had a bad day......
Back at the car. Another fine day of wandering.
