Roses - West of Queen's Highway

Branched out to find new ruins, was a disappointment. There was a road heading west to the sea, with rock walls on both sides. Several groupings of houses were along the road, abandoned a long time ago. Houses were stone tabby construction, nice water wells.

After Our Roses Incident

After having a Rowdy Boy, barefooted, run down the road after us, waving his arms, screaming and yelling at us, we were a bit nervous about continuing our hike into the Roses little settlement. Apparently a person drove by and noticed our guys with their cutlass holders looking like shot guns and reported to Paul Carroll that somebody was shooting his goats, so he took off after us. He told us it was a good thing his wife was off with his Jeep that had his shotgun, because he would have come after us with the gun.

Dunmore

A bit over confident, we hit Lord Dunmore's place thinking we would cruise through with no glitches, wrong....James gallant attempt to navigate to the windmill platform failed. We fumbled about trying to locate the large circular platform with no luck. James, Jim and I decided to simply regroup with the others, when voila!! We stumbled upon the mill platform, shocking! Everything had overgrown an amazing amount!!

Speckles at ??

These trees caught my eye, all splotchy and funky.
