This year we went to the <strong>A.D. Makepeace</strong> bogs in Tihonet (Wareham), Massachusetts.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_O2JI8OA6HFs/SPzxL-kW_9I/AAAAAAAAACI/eC6ucKWCUMA/s1600-h/024.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259343652938252242" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_O2JI8OA6HFs/SPzxL-kW_9I/AAAAAAAAACI/eC6ucKWCUMA/s400/024.JPG" border="0" /></a> This is the conveyer belt that works off the wet-vac system from the bog.<br /><br />The belt sends off loads them to a 40 ft dup truck of sorts, and then off to the cranberry processing plant.<br /><br />We saw two 40 ft beds loaded in about 45 minutes this day. Was quite the process.<br /><br />God provided a very good crop this year - so cranberries for everyone this holiday season!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2925490136760173858-4584256653462010954?l=surfmogul.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pilgrim feethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16114972935036908293noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925490136760173858.post-73075875828665311232008-06-25T14:31:00.000-07:002008-06-25T14:38:43.105-07:00<a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_O2JI8OA6HFs/SGK5f85OE7I/AAAAAAAAAA4/-TZoaqaBjHU/s1600-h/702.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215935277021664178" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_O2JI8OA6HFs/SGK5f85OE7I/AAAAAAAAAA4/-TZoaqaBjHU/s400/702.JPG" border="0" /></a> So what is it about kids and forts? The two never cease to amaze me. Ever since I was young, forts were it! This one is Fort Preble in South Portland, ME. It boasts the best granite money could buy in the 1800's. Maybe before!<br /><br />Here we get the thumbs up from a relative of the Commodore, for whose name it stands.<br /><br />Cannot imagine the recoil of the cannons here when firing on distant ships. <br /><br />A real lesson in the ingenuity and and determination of the Early Americans.<br /><br />Anyhow. Forts are still cool after all these years.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2925490136760173858-7307587582866531123?l=surfmogul.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pilgrim feethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16114972935036908293noreply@blogger.com0
