Purgatory Chasm
Anyone ever been to Purgatory Chasm in Sutton, MA?
It's a neat place.
Here's a pic from the internet.
Here are a couple pics I took there.
Yesterday, while in the Newport, RI/Middletown area, we saw a sign that said Purgatory Chasm, so we checked it out.
Here's what we found.
I guess it's a chasm....thought not quite as dramatic.

Looks like a pit with a bunch of rocks 
Both places meet the definition of chasm: noun
1. a yawning fissure or deep cleft in the earth's surface; gorge.
2. a breach or wide fissure in a wall or other structure.
The one in RI was a bit less dramatic.

Could have gone the rest of my life without viewing that particular chasm.

Actually, it is worth the trip. Neat place to walk around, though it is not exactly even terrain, picnic tables,
We heard about it on Channel 4 as one of those "day trips on one tank of gas".
