Super-short mini hike to a very interesting "Rockery" - a century+ old mound of rocks that has an interesting history. Pathway to mound is parallel to a driveway, but you're not supposed to use driveway. NOTE: this is in a small housing development but it is set back. I explored the rock mound - it has several arches and a passageway as well as a top portion to explore. Unfortunately, there is a bit of poison ivy around the base but I wasn't barefoot so I didn't care. |
