visitor by Thoreau statue at Walden Pond in Massachusetts

Betty Lou and Fred visited Walden Pond State Reservation (Concord, MA) in January 2010. Betty Lou cozies up to the statue in front of Thoreau's hut. A sign has this Thoreau quote:
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life. And see if I could not learn what it had to teach and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
