I wasn't expecting anything like this when I visited - I didn't research it at all before hiking over there. I got a great feeling, imagining Thoreau hanging out where I was now tramping, getting eaten alive by the skeeters, just as I was today.
There's a large pile of stones that have been left by visitors to the site in the foreground. People have written all kinds of inscriptions on the stones... it is pretty cool.
