Went hiking at the Nobscot Mountain Boy Scout Reservation. A wooded acreage that was not always so. Someone plowed this land, years ago. And hitting a rock, moved it to the side of the field. I wonder who that someone was. I'm sure there is a record of land ownership somewhere. I wonder what they planted. The rumor is apple orchards were very common, but there are no apple trees remaining. And I wonder why they left. Did they die during the King Phillip War or maybe during the small pox epidemic and are buried in the small pox grave site on the way to Tippling Rock?
Quiet and wildflowers line the trails the crisscross the Reservation like the rock walls of yesteryear.
