Chapter 9: Building Rockwood; Construction Continues!
Back in the fall when I took these photos, the timber frames were being put in place, and it's really exciting to see the plans coming to life! I wish the pictures that accompany this post could do this justice. The foliage was truly breathtaking. I think everyone agrees that it was one of the most vibrant foliage seasons in years. We lucked out and didn't have any leftover hurricanes blow through until the very end so the foliage stayed. Lots of reds, and we were all worried with the lack of rain there wouldn't be much of a foliage season, but it worked out very well. In these photos, the first floor Timbers were being put in place.

The Ken Curran Suspension Bridge
Did you ever wonder about the origin of the metal foot bridge in Littleton, NH connecting South Street to Riverside Drive? The bridge sways when walking on it, intimidates dogs and children, but inspires the sense of adventure when walking across the Ammonoosuc River. In the 1800's the bridge was erected for workers of the Saranac Glove Factory to walk from their homes on South Street to the factory. Today it is still a means of getting across the river, as a walking route for daily exercise, students heading to and from school and a means to access Littleton's Main Street. This bridge across the Ammonoosuc is one of four in the downtown area and is part of a lovely walk in and around downtown Littleton. Start at the Cottage Street Bridge, follow the path to the covered walking brid...
