Parked off Walker Road and hiked down wooded track to site of old schoolhouse (circa 1860's). A lot of colonial development with interlacing stone walls and a few cellar holes and an old well. We came to a beaver pond and saw two herons. After we located the schoolhouse foundation we followed the sound of rushing water down a short hill. I was startled to catch two coyotes-yikes! crossing the trail and was able to capture them on camera as they stopped to check us out before they scampered off into the woods again.
We then came to the other side of the Bigelow Brook and the site of the old bridge and stepping stones. The water was high from spring thaw and good for fishing. Me and my father walked back to car along the same route. We stopped on Eastford Road to look over the Bigelow Brook bridge at the trout swimming in a deep pool.
