Fresh Pond Reservation

23 degrees. Probably below zero with the wind chill factor. 40 mile per hour gusts. Last night's snow means more snow drifts! Get over it, I say. Spring will be here soon enough. The temperature and wind have influenced the number of people out today. More than yesterday. The bright, just a few clouds in the sky, probably caused this. A small mystery at the base of the golf clubhouse hill. There's a fence, wood and wire, that separates the golf course and the path, for less than 100 yards. By chance I happened to rest a bare hand on the top of a fence post. Every few seconds there was a vibrating sensation that came and went at sort of regular intervals. I tried other posts. Same results. Horizontal posts had the same vibration. I walked back and forth trying to find the source. Finally, a solution! This writer leaves the solution of the mystery as an exercise for the reader. Here's a picture of that fence (bottom-right of the picture).
