After climbing up there, I headed northwest off the summit and came, glady, into an area where the granite quality was not so good; or perhaps they already had their hands full on the southern side. So I came to a small auxilliary summit and here is the typical Eastern Massachusetts hilltop. It has these features:
- bare rock, blueberry bushes, scrub oak and pine
- round boulders perched about, apparently randomly
- smaller pieces and slabs of rock that seem a bit deliberately placed, especially when they are clustered around one of the round boulders.
- recent fire circles made from the same small slabs
One of the small round boulders rocked, with a four-note sequence felt through the ground as much as heard by the ear. I stood on it and rocked it for a few moments, then continued in a northwesterly direction down the hill.
