Last month I mentioned that I'd start doing a picture or two from neighboring towns each month. This one is a bit more distant than I intended, but DJ and I were out geocaching yesterday and were in the area, as shown by the marker, where Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut meet. As the picture was taken, DJ was standing in Massachusetts (Douglas) while reaching his hands into the other two states. I took the picture from Rhode Island, or maybe I was in Connecticut...or both. |

My guess is that the buses were parked on Hopedale Street so that the lot where they are parked (near Prospect Street, behind the Dutcher Street apartment house) could be cleared of snow. |
