Exploration

I haven’t had time to do much exploring on the four-wheelers. That’s sad considering we are sitting across the road from about 5,000 acres of mountains and woods and trails to discover. After I finished the brush hogging project, I did treat myself to a ride down the high road on Mount Laurel, into PA, stopped and checked out the big rocks, and on down to the top of the hill/plateau across the road from Grandpa and Grandma Morehouse’s old place. This is part of the old Grubb farm. There is a very nice log cabin there overlooking the valleys on either side, built several years ago. I intended to visit with my neighbors there but no one was around.


Then I rode down their winding access road through the now overgrown old fields and pastures into Wood Hollow to the old Grubb place. I saw quite a few deer, but nothing that compared to the wintering herd of over a hundred deer that Lynn and I saw late one winter while on a hike there when we were kids.

Traveling back up Wood Hollow, I followed a trail up the other side of the valley a half mile or so and discovered another “camp” that I had heard about but never seen. Beautiful.

I traveled past the “camp” to the top of the next mountain, elevation 2180’, climbed back down to the upper end of Wood Hollow which would be just across the PA line from our property, what we call the bowl, and followed some nicely groomed trails back home. I must do it more.
