Oh, well.

While hiking through the woods last weekend, I stumbled upon this oddity.  It is a long-abandoned well, in the middle of the woods, forgotten by time.  According to an historical aerial map of the area, the pump was once adjacent to a driveway connecting the road to a picnic grove.  The driveway is long gone.  Nearby, there are some recreational areas used for picnics, sports, and family gatherings.  There is even a more modern pump down the road.  Sadly, this one has been out of sight and out of mind for decades, rusting away and slowly being swallowed by wilderness.
