Interesting, wonder what they were trying to convey?
I've hiked by the ruins once but i had a baby on my back and didn't experience any energy. I think she absorbed it all. Beautiful creek.
Any ideas on Fort Mountain?
I think there were interactions between the Welsh and Indians that could explain some of the strange things we find in the woods.
Yeah..I'm a mix of Kit Carson and Wolf clan blood.
And I ain't right...at all.
Well, I went this afternoon with a friend. We looked where you described, but didn't see any stone steps or petroglyphs. On the top of described hill, we saw 2 or 3 piles of rocks. Saw a few bricks in the piles. Saw a hole, which may have been a root cellar or something, near a rock pile with a brick. Seemed to be indicative of an old home site, as there were also 4 or 5 big trees nearby. The only big, old trees around.
The Blue trail is up the hill a short ways from the ruins. It turns westward. We searched the area encompassed by the Blue trail, which was pretty much the entire hill top.
Either the leaves have covered everything, or we just missed what we were looking for. Actually, I don't really mind, because for me, when searching for old history, the journey is just as much the destination as what I'm looking for is. The search is lots of fun, and I won't complain about going back again.
Just got back from NY yesterday...headed to Myrtle Beach till the end of the week tomorrow. When I get back....we should plan to meet up and go find the rock....and mebbe some shoal bass.
