Photo 89-ZWH-10

Comments

This is the on the north side of Willeys Lake Rd, just off of Woodland Rd.

I grew up on Willeys Lake Rd from 1976 to the early 90s. This was the only big pond on the road and shows why the area was perfect for blueberry farming (high water table/swampy/loamy/sandy soil). There was a derelict late 30s/early 40s dually flatbed truck next to the pond on the side of the road about where the tractor is parked in the photo that us kids would play on but was removed by the county sometime around the early 90s, along with the small shack with light pole in the photo to the right of the pond. The Alder trees around the pond grew very tall over the years and covered much of the pond from visibility.
