All,
For the second time member “Tom” (Tom Worrell) and I headed out to visit his ancestors property stones that I have searched for and found over the last few years. If you did not know he is a descendant of Benjamin Jones who owned the Hanover Furnace. On our previous outing I still was uncertain of the location of a few, but since then I have located many of them, or found the locations of where some should be that are not there. However, one of them I have not searched for, hoping to have Tom along when and if I find it.
So after meeting at WaWa at the Four Mile circle at 8:45 this morning, we spent the next few hours trudging through the woods visiting the stones I have found. Here is a photo of Tom at a stone in dense brush 1/4 mile into the woods.
Eventually, it came time to look for the unsearched for stone. I actually had made some preliminary checks of the area, and found it to be brier infested. So with that in mind we headed into the woods hoping for the best. I was confident that my calculations were correct, I just was concerned it would not be there. My concerns were alleviated when within 10 feet of our intended location we came upon the moss and dirt covered stone. It was apparent it had not been visited in years, and most likely will not be visited again for years to come.
My favorite photo of the day with Tom at the stone. Maybe his great, great, great, great, great, grandfather had been there in days gone by. I hope that is the proper amount of greats
I want to thank you Tom for an interesting day. Jessica and I enjoyed the conversations, and hope we can do this again one day. It was a pleasure!
