Out on another potential fishing encounter (for Andrew, nature walk for me) we were strolling along a trail though Mary S. Young Park—a 133-acre urban state park—when we came upon a most unexpected site.
We both found this quite hilarious and burst out in much-needed laughter. A fire hydrant in the middle of a trail in a state park? I mean sure, it would come in useful on a dry August day, but, wow. Did not expect that.

It would be most beneficial during an unfortunate event of a forrest fire. At all other times, dogs walking the path would appreciate this P station.
ReplyDeleteWe thought about the dogs, didn't get to see any passing by though.
DeleteI guess it is best to be prepared!
ReplyDeleteGotta love it and gotta laugh.
ReplyDeleteAnd we did.
DeleteIt looks like something that might be featured in a story about how nature takes over when the humans are gone. Or maybe Smoky Bear just decided he needed to cover the bases.
ReplyDeleteHa! You're right. On both accounts.
DeleteCrazy.
ReplyDeleteIt made me burst out laughing too. What an oddity in that setting. Mind you, as chavliness pointed out - it could be a very handy thing if the unthinkable happens.
ReplyDeleteThere are some very wealthy residents around the park. Coincidence?
DeleteLooks like the lamp in Narnia, perhaps it can be used to escape the current alternate reality.
ReplyDeleteDamn, why didn't I think of that?
DeleteI wonder if the path once was part of a planned development that didn't get finished? I once saw something like this in northern quebec, where they removed a mining town when they closed the mine; just empty roads and hydrants, hundreds of miles from any other town, and the taiga slowly reclaiming its own.
