  • Old New England granite quarry that was abandoned almost 100 years ago. This location went out of business during the great depression of the 1930's as so many places did. New England has so much history and you never know what you will see or find when exploring. I walked a small section of the old railroad tracks where they would load the granite on to trains. Then I followed the old service road that brought me right out to the piles and pits. this place is crazy with huge sections or rock cut right of the earth. Some signs of people working here long ago before it was deserted. Impressive big iron hooks anchored in the stones. A good hike and interesting place to visit.

    Very cool site. I'm a stone fabricator and work with granite quite frequently (although most people use blue stone these days) and its fascinating to see the kind of places that supplied raw material to guys like me a hundred years ago.

    Split Granite, great name for a hard rock band. I'd say the Quarrymen, but I think that has already been spoken for Drummer named magma, female lead singer named Chrystal.

    Lots of old Limestone quarries around here. The big clevis in the boulder may have been an anchor for a tall derrick used to move the slabs of granite.

    To put things in perspective, watch PBS EONS; "That time it rained for two million years" and in particular the section on the granite mountain in New York that was as tall as Mount Everest and all that remains now are the small, smooth rocks in Central Park. Thanks for the interesting tour.

    Love the walks in the woods. I’m betting many a New England curb stone came from that quarry.

    Hi Charlie, just curious. Was the 1840 railway steam or horse drawn. Horse drawn would have regular change-out camps for the horses. These would be worth a swing. Here in Tasmania the spacing was 10 - 13 miles depending on the flatness of the line and the heaviness of the payload. We had horse drawn up until the 1870's.

    So Charlie when did you discover Merrell hiking boots, and what's your honest opinion on them?
    BTW, I am fairly certain I know which ones you're wearing, because of the laces.
    To my knowledge only one has that color, and at first I was just going to change them for standard boot laces that normally comes with everything else.
    But before I realized it, I've come to think of them as normal if that makes sense.
    So how long did it take you to break them in, and it's actually amazing fact I've come to expect about them.
    Yes I know improper sentence structure, but it was let's say an inside joke..
    Anyone who's never actually worn a pair, but has worn hiking boots in the past other than these.
    Well let's just say two pairs of heavy sox, and miles of sore sweaty feet later, may have broken in a old pair, but that's if they actually made it long enough to break in a pair.
    Interesting history y'all are surrounded by, I only wish the state I live in had as much access to all the acreage that y'all do in the north eastern part of the country.
    But then y'all don't have the population that we've got here, and unfortunately it's growing by leaps bounds since the 60's, with no signs of slowing any time in the foreseeable future, are at least not in my lifetime it won't.
    Yet I'm not able to get out and explore as I use to when I was younger, but that's why I believe everyone must do as much of that sorta thing while they are young.
    Because you never know what life's going to hand you, and then one day you discover that age not only has caught up to you, but it's greatly limited your ability to do half of what once we took for granted.
    So push on while you can, and never turn down a chance to do things with your friends and family, because one day either you won't be able to, are they're all gone.
    Simple facts of life, but a bitterly sweet pill to swallow, but then that's life isn't it.
