Little Bennett Regional Park

Alright blogosphere, I'm behind... WAY behind on our trips and travels lately. So to resume where we left off.

Jim and I went for a bit of a ride up to Little Bennett Regional Park, Montgomery county Marylands largest park, with 3700 acres and 20 miles of trails. It has some historic things on here, like an old road, an area where a mill once stood, an old farm and a mill house.

Jim and the creek where the water used to flow into the mill for wood cutting. The mill ultimately failed due to the unpredictability of steady flow to keep the mill running. Other mills has better constant water access.

So we hiked up a big hill to the top and came up around the back of the farm house (which had few markings, so we were worried it was a murderers house!). At the furthest point we dare venture there was at least 3 remains of deer, mostly their bones... I was really intrigued and took a mandible.

Back of the Mill house, they had sculpture garden that looked kind of creepy, a bit overgrown and just left to rot in a way. But not bad, it was cute. We'll be coming back here as its not far away and not crowded!
