About 10 to 12 years ago, I came across some ruins off of Mt. Misery road that I don't think I've discussed on this site. It had been a while since I visited the area so today, along with my little guy Jack, I went there and took some photos.
the area is characterized by numerous mature white pine. Their crispy, fresh scent is in sharp contrast to the sweet smell of the pitch pine.
this celler hole is seated on top of a rise. The topography drops considerably down to a cedar swamp behind it.
the area is very open around the celler holes with a carpet of white pine needles.
This former walls (?) are brick covered in concrete.
This might be remains, or just dumped later.
this is another celler hole. It actually appears as two celler holes adjacent to each other.
While there are spungs nearby, they do not appear to have been cultivated for cranberry use. I am not sure what these ruins are of. Possibly a long lost homestead. They appear on a rise adjacent to a large cedar swamp so maybe it was once a saw mill operation. 1930 photos show little in the area except less vegetation.
Jack is a tea berry maniac. We pick them at the house and I showed him how to crush and smell them. He was quick to find tea berry nearby.
This piece of a terra cotta pipe was probably manufactured in nearby Pasadena.
BTW: these are not the ruins right by the intersection of Mt. Misery road and Pasadena road. they are further up mount Misery and back in the woods.
