Description
This mountain-top property in northeast Pennsylvania was used as farm land many years ago. As part of preparing the cleared fields for farming, an endless multitude of rocks needed to be removed from the soil. These rocks were used to form stone walls edging the fields. Many of these abandoned walls are found throughout the gently rolling hills of northeast Pennsylvania. Every time I see these old walls, I am amazed at how hard early farmers had to work to scrape out a living in these mountains.
