HI Tea.. It's sort of a tic tack toe effect, without the middle board. Quite unique. Thanks for posting it. I can see the deer footprints in the snow. Linda
@valt46 Hello Val ! The fence in the photo is a reproduction, but when early settlers established their homesteads, one of the first things to do was secure their livestock, so this kind of fence could be made without nails, just an ax or saw. In the South you can see a few (newer ones), but they’re mostly decorative :) Ah, you didn’t ask me for all that information (I’ve got to cut back on the caffeine!) Thanks for doing the puzzle :)
@pumpkinhead Well, it looks like that book has migrated to the upstairs, but if I remember right, it’s by Tom Bodett and called America’s Historic Trails (‘97). All about how postal routes, wagon routes and other trails eventually became our roadways. Especially interesting up in your area :)
I’d love to see your stone walls! We have them here, what’s left of them date back to Pre-Civil War. I imagine yours are built out of totally different stone, so interesting :) Since you like to explore old roads, I have a great book to suggest . . just a second:
All the time, Tea. Up on the state land there are split rail fences as well as stone walls. We love going up in the hills of the county to explore the old roads and foundations.
