No security cameras on any of this?

Interesting you should bring this up. In Charlottesville, organizations have volunteered to purchase and set up, and monitor cameras to protect the General Lee statue - the local Gov't is refusing to allow it - I wonder why.

“Plymouth Pebble”

That is what everyone who has been there calls Plymouth Rock.

Plymouth Plantation is actually kind of interesting. So is Old Sturbridge Village. Each one of those gives you a pretty good look at what life was like in 17th century New England.

What is amazing around here in southern NH are the thousands of miles of stone walls that farmers built in the 1700 & 1800s. I have one along the north side of my property that is around 1100’ long. Some of the boulders must weigh over thousand pounds. They were put there with horses and oxen.

I had a guy clear about an acre of land on the side of my house. What he did in a day with an excavator, would have taken 30 years with oxen.

Some rocks were too big to move. There was one that the guy tried to pick up with his 30M# Cat excavator. It started to tip it forward with the boom extended. The only way he could lift it was to bring it as far as he could to the tracks.
That means that the rock weighed almost the same amount as the machine. They do not call this the granite state for nothing.
