Mallards at Indian Springs

After physical therapy on Monday, I stopped along Indian Spring Road in Woodstock to take pictures of ducks.


This is near Indian Springs Wetlands, which I wrote about six months ago. Indian Springs was used for water by Native Americans as they traveled along an old Indian path that ran between Canada and Georgia. This path was eventually used by settlers and evolved into the Valley Pike, now US 11.

  1. After physical therapy I bet the Mallards provided emotional therapy.

  2. ...I know Route 11 well and I-81 follows it.

  3. Love the sweet ducks, and thinking about traveling all over the US where horses would need water daily (and people) thus determining the routes taken.
