Today a walk with Adaline (and Kyle and Katrina!) in Blackstone River State Park on part of the towpath trail along the Blackstone Canal (1828) and Blackstone River.

| The paved trail is covered with fallen leaves |
 |
| A visitor center on I-295 had some artifacts from the industrial age; here are seen water turbine runners that transferred water power to shafts running machines |
 |
| More Blackstone Canal reflections (KSS) |
 |
| Ashton Dam (1885) had more water than usual flowing over it |

 |
| Across the Blackstone River is the former Ashton Mills (1810) (KSS) |
 |
| Adaline walked the last bit of the trail, and picked up a leaf and a stick |
Wow, we had a wonderful visit! Adaline is an amazing and talented 15-month old, probably all due to her parents. We were well entertained, ate well, slept well, etc. Thank you to K+K&A.
