Yesterday afternoon the mutating group known as the Boston World Explorers Foundation got together to check out an abandoned stretch of highway over Sullivan Square in Charlestown. Possibly legal, sure, but quite safe given the complete lack of traffic and apparant structural integrity (well, for pedestrians at least). Even though auto access was impossible, we couldn't help but paranoidly glance behind us whenever we heard traffic on the streets below.

Traffic was still flowing in the other direction, so we tried to act casual while sidestepping the pigeon carcasses. The tunnel ended up near the Mystic River drawbridge, so we headed to the riverside for a look at the ball fields, industrial sites, and docked gas tankers. Here are my photos from the walk, and fellow explorer Dave Belson has a few here on Ofoto. If you're interested in possibly joining the B.W.E.F. on the next irregular outing, sign up for the new Yahoo Group and you'll be in the message loop. There have already been trips to Castle Island and Beacon Hill, and you're more than welcome to have a say in where the group heads next.  |
