It’s a roadside “stone
wall” in my Connecticut town that thousands of people have driven by or walked
by, horseless or otherwise, many many times sometime since that last bit of
glacial lake ice melted around here. Just when the Stone Snake appeared, guarding
the trail and the enclosure beyond it that leads to the river, I don’t know.
All I know is that it looks like a snake stretched out cross a little rise of
earth above the trail and it is still there in the early autumn of 2021.
Some of this row of stones is quite intact; a wedge of stones and it begins with a larger triangular stone, as distinct as a timber rattlesnake head.
Scattered stones that might have been inside that depression?
How does one really know for certain?
Are those stones bison like horns or are those stones to rest elk-like antlers on, wooden or otherwise?
A thousand possibilities exist – including the
possibility that they were carelessly tossed there in 1934...
