If you like those types of walls - you should pay a visit to New England. We've got lots of them, although they are beginning to vanish as people "steal" the stones from them for home projects and whatnot.

We bought a wall from Monroe Maine...that is what is in the pic above I posted. The land was going to get developed and we offered...we rebuilt 80% of it here in york at the site you see there.
Most of New Englands fieldstone walls are, simply put, linear landfills. As the settlers cleared the land the stuff had to go somewhere...stacking it in lines just made sense labor-wise. As time went on, they oftem became property boundarys etc.
That's cool RJ - I was referring more to "poachers" if you will.
Gotsta like rocks on the trails though that's for sure!

you've got good clients up there too! Nice to have Mavic guys who can give great tips!
That place looks great for some nice riding. Thanks for posting those pics. It's always fun to see where others play on their big wheelers.
On stone: We here in Iowa are not unfamiliar with rock piles, walls, etc. Lots of glacial erratics that work their way up to the surface yearly. I spent lots of time "rock picking" as a youth on relatives farms.

I really hope to get to ride in different areas of the country over time.
