Awesome kick butt ride.....answer me this, who built those stone walls, some had boulders the size of a small car......my mother used to tell me the indians.....i think not

[@JustRideZipp2001]

A lot of landowners built them to mark their property line way back in the day.

@@JustRideZipp2001 ......i wonder how they moved those big boulders.....there is a stonewall going down the whole side of my street and some boulders are massive......even the regular sized ones look heavy......and this wall looks centuries old.....just baffles me......did they have excavators? and where did the boulders come from......if you noticed every wall all over new england has the same looking boulders.....just baffles me

Thats why they had 🐂 big oxes.

@@JustRideZipp2001 .......may be....a new neighbor moved in 3 lots down and he does stone work.....when i first shook his hand i thought it was going to break off.....the guys grip is insane.....im going to see what his opinion is too......this is interesting......then im going to ask the old man farmer up the street......ill keep you updated

[@Joe-pb3lx]

so i talked to the stone work guy and he said the same thing as you....." they had big oxes" but he also said the farmers would drag all the stones to the edge of the roads which in turn made the walls....ill ask the old farmer soon what his opinion is....someday we will be the old guys and we may be asked questions like what were gas cars like? lol
