The Mountain Hollow Stone Row
This Old Stone Row Runs Up A Vermont Mountainside
I’m a horrible hiker.
At least, I am now. Not that I used to be a great hiker, but I didn’t used to stop and take in the stonework. These days, I don’t usually get very far — unless there’s nothing much to see. Of course, even then I’m kinda slow — because I keep on looking.
I’m not really covering a lot of ground, for example, as I continue to explore this Mountain Hollow near Richmond, Vermont. YouTube viewer Michelle S. tipped me off to possible Indigenous Stonework here, and I have yet to see everything she’s told me about.
Taking advantage of weirdly warm February weather, I did get a bit further along the trail and a bit higher up this past weekend, and found some higher altitude stone rows.
The ground was mostly bare as I headed into the hollow, but as I climbed the snow cover returned and deepened with the increasing altitude. Didn’t realize quite how deep the snow had gotten until I stepped off the trail to get a look at the lower part of this stone row intersected by the trail.
