I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. MMHART_010830_02.JPG: The trail from Lexington to Concord is a national historic trail. The Park Service bought all of the land on either side. It's an amazing job considering the work wasn't done until the late 1960's and much of this area was already built up.
2. MMHART_010830_06.JPG: Samuel Hartwell House Site. The sign says: Source of heat for cooking and winter warmth, the fireplace was the center of family life. Structurally, as well, the fireplace system was the heart of the house. The mass of stone and brick before you constituted most of the total structure of the fireplace system. It formed a heat-retaining bulk which offset the inherent inefficiency of an open fireplace. Individual fireplaces in different rooms were all vented into a single chimney. Niches in the chimney's base located in the cellar provided storage for preserves and cider. In 1775, this house was occupied by Mary Hartwell and Sergeant Samuel Hartwell of the Lincoln Minute Men. The house had a succession of owners and burned in 1968 while serving as a restaurant. In 1985, as part of its historic preservation program, the National Park Service built this protective structure which follows the framing of the original house. Mary's remembrances of the Battle of April 19, 1775 were retold by generations of Hartwells. ... "The army of the King marched up in fine order and their bayonets glistened in the sunlight like a field of waving grain. If it hadn't been for the purpose they came for, I should say it was the handsomest sight I ever saw in my life." -- Attributed to Mary Hartwell by her descendants
3. MMHART_010830_08.JPG: Along the route, you get these mile markers indicating on one side how far you have to go to your destination (Meriam's Corner where the British troops were finally turned back) and your source (Boston Harbor).
4. MMHART_010902_02.JPG: This house was a tavern along with Concord-Lexington road
5. MMHART_010902_03.JPG: This cat was along the Lexington-Concord trail
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
