It was a return to the backwoods with the Hilltown Hikers for more explorations of old historic sites in Middlefield. We focused on an abandoned road that would lead down and across Coles Brook. Coles Brook lends its name in old-time geology to a formation of 'limestone'.
First stop was the desolate Kent Cemetery. Far off the beaten path for sure, it is said to contain 8 burials. Nearby, we sought out the boundary marker for three towns. Then working our back back to the abandoned road we finally arrived at Coles Brook. Old abutments existed but nothing tested positive for limestone. On the way back, one of our dog hiking comrades tangled with a porcupine. She was sent off with Mom to the vet once arriving at the cars.
Three of us made the trip around to access the other section of road that had lain across Coles Brook. Another neat cellar hole was explored and the area on that farther side of the Brook.
