Hiking
Stonewalls are abundant in New England. As colonial farmers cleared their fields, they kept coming across rocks. They took these rocks, which would impede their plows, and piled them at the edges of their fields. Today, even as the area has become reforested, there are still hundreds of miles of stone walls like this one.
