&gt; back on cream hill at last<br/>
&gt; so attached herewith are the long promised pix<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; first a partial view of bound rock <br/>
&gt; the natural rock that marks the seabrook & hampton nh<br/>
&gt; town line<br/>
&gt;  <br/>
&gt; the camera is peering down into the dark crypt <br/>
&gt; but is somewhat blocked by the covering grate<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; the date is most likely 1657<br/>
&gt; making this the oldest known working rock in america<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; second is the modern commemorative version of <br/>
&gt; an heape of stones<br/>
&gt; marking the approximate location of a 1664 original<br/>
&gt; heape<br/>
&gt; which itself only belatedly marked the 1628 boundary<br/>
&gt; between the massachusetts bay & plymouth colonies<br/>
&gt; & was formerly thought to be the oldest boundary<br/>
&gt; marker in america<br/>
&gt; probably just because the boundary it marks is the<br/>
&gt; oldest known boundary in america <br/>
&gt; & the delay in the demarcation wasnt realized <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; third is a nearby rock garden<br/>
&gt; & the leading candidate for the original 1664 heape<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; but neither the bound rock nor the heape was an<br/>
&gt; erected stone marker in the modern style <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; the oldest known working planted boundary stone dates<br/>
&gt; from 1731<br/>
&gt; & is a paleo ctmany marker<br/>
&gt; now in millerton ny <br/>
&gt; <br/>
