I'm guessing that is on a small trail that connects Glossy Spung Road and Tuckerton Road. Entry to it is near the Hampton packing house foundations, if not there is a similar arrangement there.
Yea that's it Joe ....I like how the trees grew like that.
I usually don't post the difficult ones having only the natural landscape in them, but I thought that if some of you like these open pine groves as much as I do, you'd get this spot with a couple of guesses. If you come within a 1/4 mile radius of this one, that is close enough to tell me you love these pine groves too.
That is a good guess, but incorrect. Still, I know that area too, which tells me you love the pine groves too, since they are there as well.
Area to the east of Martha Furnace? Or is that the area Al mapped? The Carex pensylvanica looks familiar.
I hadn't seen your post Johnny but apparently we were posting about the same time.Yes I just put a link to Martha!
I used to eat at Pine Grove all the time.Pine grove restaurant in Dorchester but alas, their closed down now.The food was good but the name couldn't be beat!
These beautiful beds of Carex pennsylvanicus always seem to be in places that were known to be fields at one time.Would my theory that this sedge grows there because the humus/root layer of the heath family was eradicated by the plow?If so how long would it take to grow the heath layer back? martha and Quaker bridge have been unplowed for well over a hundred years yet the carex still reigns! I imagine fire keeps the succession at bay but this makes you wonder how the heath plants would be able to maintain a foot hold anywhere in the Barrens.The plow must be deadlier then fire in regards to heath plants.
That's twice in one day you took me back in time to that area. Pine Grove was on 47 right? And now I assume it's no longer. If I'm thinking of the right place that was the best diner in the area to eat. It was always a treat when we compared to a Wawa hoagie between charter trips
Pine Ridge the building with it's sign still exist about two miles south of WaWa on the west side of 47 right next to where Taylors Run crosses the road.There is a spring in the swamp behind the parking lot and occasional arrowheads found in the sandy bottom stream.My friend has excavated many many artifacts out of the earth along that creek but alas,the restaurant closed down ten years ago or more. The never cared how grungy i was when I crawled out of the woods they'd still feed me.Kinda like a Lucille's Down Under.
