We really didn’t go
all that far, my brother and I, but we saw some interesting things. We saw the “nearest”
Medicine Rock (one of two on the trail map), a milky white quartzite outcrop,
but we also saw a great number of dead ash trees as well as two peculiar rows
of stones that seemed sort of related to the one of the multi-trunked trees
(maybe, possibly):
We had been noting an absence of “stone walls” and finally found two. There was one that was composed of larger stones, pointed at about true north while the other is composed of smaller stones which appeared to continue in into the brushy distance to the west, sort of a bunch of stone circles rather than a linear or zigzag construction, although it appears somewhat serpentine on the LiDar image I pulled up from the world-wide computer-net:
So here’s a “Why go back?” answer: There are some interesting things to be seen on that tiny piece of the world and only the curious have something to find. I've got a snapshot of 1934 to look at, as well as other perhaps traces of older cultural stone landscape features to observe…
A Row of Káhtôquwukansh or “Stone Prayers?”
