visited both the oldest working rock in america candidates yesterday

at the plymouth plantation boundary with massachusetts bay colony

we were on the oldest boundary in america

dating back to 1628 or 1629

but

according to the charming commemorative simulated heap of stones we found there

the purportedly surviving boundary marker if any

is a different heap of stones no longer necessarily recognizable today

& does indeed date from only 1664

as previously noted

this i dutifully photographed

with its very readable modern inscription

then scoured the neighborhood for any other available or plausible heap of stones

in case it chanced to be the real one

but the only possible one i found was a rock garden

directly across the road in someones private yard

& exactly where predicted too btw

on the topo i flashed last week

photographed this heap too

& will post both pix in due time

along with the one i later took of bound rock in new hampshire

for bound rock must now be considered the leading & seemingly unchallenged candidate

in dating as it evidently does from 1656 or 1657

couldnt read any inscription on it tho

deep in its dark cavernous crypt

it was quite huge & had no sign of an exact point indicator

now we are just drifting thru the idyllic countryside of maine

having had my obligatory lobster roll already

no pointing tries presently on the horizon

lucky library internet hit here at liberty

but closing soon

at high noon

beeps
