The message on the park bench

At Elk Neck State Park, there is a long path through the woods. At the end of the path is the Turkey Point Lighthouse, a small structure atop a tall cliff, overlooking the Chesepeake. The path is not a difficult one, but it is a mile or so long. The Boy Scouts helpfully added a few benches along the path. One one of them, amidst dueling the daddy longlegs, someone wrote a message:

“50 years ago

I camped here

Now I am too old

to even make it

to the lighthouse

Thank you for this
