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

 

True.

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.

 

Chasm (definition #2):

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

 

Yup! I'm 5 minutes away. Neat place....pictures don;t do it justice.

 

That's because I only have a point and shoot camera.

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".

 

The sign as you go in

 

One trail is called "Fat Man's Misery"

 

i'll pass on that one
