DAY 23 | Unhenged our final chapter. | ||
Here we are at Americas Stonehenge. An active archeological site
We watched a lovely amateur video, by the current and previous scientists excavating and curating the site.
The most recent historical residents of this site, were the Partee Family, they built their 18th century dwelling over the ancient site. The Partee family are believed to have assisted slaves, to escape into Canada, examples of Iron shackles have been uneartherd here.
Sadly later generations of this family sold the quarried stones to be used in the building of local cities, thus ruining the ancient artifacts.
The site is believed to be thousands of years old as per some 1960's carbon dating. There is evidence of sacrifice as well as a fascination with lunar, and solar solstices.
This scarey "Blair Witch" pile of rags perhaps indicated, more recent Pagan ritual.
These upright stones bear ancient tool marks, they are believed to line up with sunrises and sunsets.
Oddly, Alpacas are living on this archiological site.
Ian found me the Harpoon Brewery for an interesting lunch break.
Rude not to.
Ian had a burger (yawn) I tried Chicken and Biscuits..Yeah ( No ) not for me.
One of the US's longest covered bridges built in 1866 in New Hampshire.
Here we are at the Marriott Trumball. We need to compact this lot into our luggage....
We are knackered and order salads and beer.
Then a Spicy Margarita for yours truly.
Tomorrow we fly home, we are keeping a weather eye on Hurricane Lee, which might well have become a damp fart before we fly. However nothing is certain. We may or may not report in tomorrow dear reader, rest assured you will be in our thoughts, sleep well xx
