The Rock All Around Us...

A captivating analysis of recent glaciers, boulders, early settlers, frost, Napolean, sheep, Ohio, cotton, Robert Frost, barns, pastures, Redcoats, erosion, "rock farms", England, second growth, White Pines, but most importantly, those rock walls everywhere around us.

At first, thinking this belonged in the "Lake Level" discussion, I watched the whole thing. But this excellent study needed its own thread.

Page Pond field and forest in Meredith, where it has a huge open field opposite Barnard Ridge Rd has a long stone wall. From 1810 to 1840 this could have been a merino sheep pasture, and then from 1840 to 1985-sometime, a cow pasture with black & white spotted cows.

So, what happened to the cows, here, where have all the cows gone to, and left behind a lot of old stone walls?
