Thanks for the compliments Chris. :)
Yes, a 2 hour walk, one hour in and one hour out. There is wooded land
everywhere here. Our home and neighbors' homes are surrounded by
forest with Shaw Pond 500-600 feet away. Not very much old growth
left. I imagine most of this area was clear 100 years ago or so. When
I walk through the woods I often come across low stone walls hidden
amongst the brush and tree roots that marked property boundaries years
ago and I find them in the oddest places. There's a 10' cube structure
made from stone in the middle of the stream up the mountain (or big,
big hill depending on your definition). I have no idea what that was
for. I climbed to the top thinking I might find the remnants of wood
thinking this structure might have been a foundation for a mill but
found nothing. Very strange whatever it was. Sacrificial altar? Ya
never know what those colonists were up to. :)
