We took a car ride to the Quabbin Reservoir on Monday. We brought lunch and had a nice picnic overlooking the water. We climbed the tower for an endless view is all directions, then made our way to the Windsor Dam and Quabbin visitor center, which also houses station C-7 of the Massachusetts State Police.
We made numerous stops within the Quabbin along our way. Each location appeared to have picnic tables available for the visitors to use. Ironically, the only picnic tables that were chained under lock and key were those at the state police station. You'd think that the other locations would be locked versus at the station where the state police are seem coming and going and milling around. Weird right?!
I took the picture below at the same state police center. I took it simply because I was in awe at what I was seeing. Do you see it too?!?! Look again. See it now?!
So, the heavy ~12' long metal bike rack is chained and locked to a rotted wooden post. Not to mention that if you removed the top fence rail you'd be able to lift the chain over the top of the post. What are they trying to prevent from being stolen the post, the bike rack or both?! At least put the effort in and slide the chain through the hole in the post before padlocking. Make it appear that someone tried and was thinking versus just doing what they're told. Let's hope that the decision maker here doesn't carry a firearm...
