A few days ago I had some free time while running errands and decided to check out a few places I had wanted to see for a while. The first one was an old granite quarry on the east side of Moose Mtn, near the AT north of Hanover. I had seen this quarry while on an excellent hike of the southern ridge of Moose with avk4316 earlier this summer, and had wanted to get back there to check it out. Well, it was pretty cool. I'm not too sure when this was last used as a quarry, but not too long ago by the looks of the equipment that was scattered around.
There were blueberries everywhere, as well as british soldiers, and wintergreen.
Back to the car I go, and off to do the errands. Then, on to my next little adventure.
Somewhere, not too far from the AT between West Hartford, Vermont, and Happy Hill Shelter in Norwich, VT, there used to be a town called....Podunk. The town has faded back into the woods, and now all that is left are some cellar holes, some very crowded apple trees, and a couple cemeteries. I found one of the cemeteries a few weeks ago with the kids, but wanted to go back and find the bigger of the two. I have been up there at least 5-6 times this summer, and haven't been able to find it....until now.
some of the headstones were pretty cool...
Several of the dates on the headstones were from late summer of 1850....I wonder if there was an outbreak of typhoid or the flu.....
All in all a productive day of "running errands"
While wandering around in the woods up there, I also saw this:
weird....
