My Walk in the Woods • part 2 • Massive Stonewalls

I continued a bit further into the Redding woods..

.. and am confronted by centuries-old stonewalls.. all placed carefully and still balanced.

.. then appears a big intersection of several huge walls...

So whoa.. it's like 5 walls all coming together..

Just beyond the intersection looking back now.. Two of the walls run parallel for a bit..

This boulder nearby got sliced like a piece of bread it seems.. evidence of massive glacial powers at work during the last Ice Age.

I was then drawn to this boulder perched atop another...

At closer examination you can see a double-fissure or crack that the boulder shares with the larger rock below.

They must have been a unified piece of rock long ago.

Onward into the woods I must go.. to be continued...
