Railroad Marker where we cross the tracks and start out... I knew it must be a mile marker, but couldn't make myself believe the Conway Scenic Railroad was 85 miles long, so, I had no clue what it designated until I just looked it up,

It marks mile 85 on the MOUNTAIN DIVISION RAILROAD LINE AND CONWAY BRANCH RAILROAD LINE that runs from P 51 (mile 51) on the Maine border in Conway to Lunenburg, VT. More here:

This used to be a big, deep hole that was excellent for swimming, but the ice, snowmelt and rushing waters are always taking rocks and boulders from here and putting them there...

We still managed to get good and wet and stay cool for awhile despite the despicable heat & humidity. lovely return visit to one of our old haunts...
