[Leica] Quabbin

Hi Peter:

Thanks. I enjoyed shooting them.

I don't know about the Wachusett Reservoir, created in 1895, but it is 
true that on the very rare occasions when the Quabbin, which flows to 
the Wachusett Reservoir by way of the Quabbin Aqueduct, is low... some 
of the foundations from those lost towns of Dana, Enfield, Greenwich and 
Prescott on the former Swift River can be seen, along with the remains 
of some of the roads.
