It's still working, despite all the cold and winter. I can see why the farmer used to use it.

I believe the mountains peak in the background is Grass Mountain in Vermont. I could be wrong though.

This summer, the Land Conservancy that owns Bennett Hill cleared out a view from the top of mountain, looking mostly due North over Clarksville. It would have been nice to seen a more easterly view for Albany, but so be it.

Now that's no fun. Of course for a good portion of the year, there is a lot of dry brush up here, and them farmers below don't want their fields burnt.

Below that rock wall is a "spring box" that collects water that is washing down the bank of the hill, on a layer of clay. As you can see from a previous photo, it works quite effectively.
