Photos from Lake Luzerne NY

[Reader Kevin O. writes:] Here are a couple more pics.

One is my attempt at a primitive map of where stone piles have been located.

One pic is a profile of the location of three stone piles.   example of layout

One pic is a photo of Potash Mt...not a view from where we are.  We could have that view but chose 25 years ago not to cut any trees.  Mohawk name of Potash Mt is   Senongewok. The stones face west toward Potash Mountain

One photo is of Red Hawk.  Red Hawk was from Swanton Vt and I believe his mother was Abenki, and father, of European descent.  Not 100% sure. Definitely of Abeneki lineage
Red Hawk was an interpreter for Fort Ticonderoga, and the photo is from the State of NY

Concave Base Arrowhead from Marshfield

I found this in a place where I look and look and never find more than a smidgen of a broken quartz base. It is one of those late paleo "Snappit" or "Hardaway-Dalton" types that I tend to find inland. This is as close as I have come to finding an arrowhead in this place.
