This car has been in the woods for as long as I can remember, so lets say 40+ years!
Oh look here are two fine looking foxes in the woods,(my Mom and niece KC) oops, those are not the foxes we were after!! We did see a fox, but now I know why they say "sneaky like a fox" We heard them, stood still and saw a glimpse, like a ghost and then they disappeared, kind of weird knowing they were watching us looking for them
When we were kids we had a trail here behind my moms house and it was well used. Now it's a bit over grown but it's funny I can still remember were it was and the land marks that were there
Like this big rock
This little hidden patch of water was full of Frog eggs, can you see them?

That's a really nice place! Did you end up finding any foxes?
We saw a glimpse of them but thats all
Oh :P Sorry I forgot that you already said it in the post
You are lucky to be able to go back easily and visit the places where you played as a child. I remember paths and ponds and woods in NJ but they are all gone, developed now. I hope your neck of the woods stays just as it is!
I was thinking the same thing, Priscilla. All those woods that were behind my house that I used to wander in - all gone and replaced by who knows how many hundreds of houses. Even my yard was divided up and sold for 3 or 4 houses. I know your yard was broken up and sold for individual houses also. Really sad ....
Kristen - you are so fortunate that your childhood areas are still intact!
I agree ladies and I hope as long as I am alive it does stay that way. I don't see it changing but I wouldn't rule anything out now a days. I am trying my best to help, went to another LONG land trust meeting last night. Why do they all have to talk at the same time????
Biddie: now you are making me doubt my geographical memory. Wasn't it all fields behind your house? Jeffries land, hunters' paradise? There were some woods way back behind Westons' property. I remember I got you to go walking/exploring there one afternoon at the beginning of our freshman year. Your father was out on a trip and you felt a little freer.
There must have been a hundred or more acres back behind my house - did the Jefferies own them ?????
It was open fields with an occasional tree for several hundred feet but then it transitionsed into a lightly-treed forest - fairly open and easy to move through. I eventually wore out a faint trail through the area - a loop - that took me almost an hour to cover. Never saw anything but birds back there.
Didn't the Westons live on the other side of your house from the Belins? I don't remember the particular walk that you mentioned but, for sure, I took my walks behind my yard when my father was out on a trip ....
Westons lived next to Jeffries. They had a race horse, remember? Didn't always live in their barn but when it was the4re--how exciting. They let me feed him once or twice. Ahhhh.
Jeffries owned all that land back there, hundreds of acres.
