Title: foliage ride
Post by: thecfarm on September 28, 2012, 09:15:30 AM
We went for a ride to see the leaves. We have plenty at the bottom of our hill to see too. On the way up I saw a new sign about a scenic drive. A right turn and about a mile in and this is it.
This is Ira Mountain in Kingfield Maine. The developer piled up a bunch of rocks for an echo place.

Up at the top.

The gray spot kinda on the lower left is the first picture. They made quite the road to the top. There was some really nice homes up there. This will be added to our ride each year.

It's a little early for the rocks to turn color, another 15 to 20 years of exposure to the elements and they will all be a nice medium grey... ;D ;D

And the worst part is,you are only seeing about half of the echo place. I won't mention the ones they piled up at one side to make the road level. I think this guys land is just about like mine.   :o  The whole area was nice and clean. I have no idea where the stumps went or the tree and brush. I mean there was no evidence of any stumps or trees pushed over or brush. I did not realize this until I saw a 4 inch tree that was pushed off to the side. The only one I saw. I only saw a couple trees that was barked up too.

I took a ride up Mt. Wachusett , all 2006 feet of it Friday.  2 small patches of foliage in the valleys probably swamp land, not much to see around here yet.
