Another visit to Whitehead Crossing, which I’m seeing more and more as a true center for my woodsy experiences. Like I said previously, it’s actually a quite large and diverse region we’re talking about here, composed of a mixture of different types of woods and open areas, kind of surrounded or protected by a thicker forest of pines. Through the middle runs Whitehead Brook, acting as a type of unifying thread.
Below is pictured one of the many little oddities of this area: a tree seemingly lassoed by a trailing vine. I didn’t create this just to make a picture, I promise.
The now blog famous Jeogeorock or Gray Rock in the distance, with an unnamed spring passing it on the right in the below photo. The spring’s source is in the foreground.
Jeogeorock and neighboring, squatter and smaller rock, also unnamed like the spring in front of it here.
Although Jeogeorock is the largest specimen of such, there are many rocks scattered about Whitehead Crossing, including these which seem to have been piled up to make a type of fence or barrier of some sort.
This jumble of fallen trees also seems to act as a defining line between Whitehead Crossing proper and outside regions.
A candidate for the center of Whitehead Crossing is this finger of land between two stream flows: Whitehead Brook behind it, and another as yet unnamed spring in front. Notice the topping green of this low ridge — grass apparently stays alive all year round at this spot.
Trees forming an almost equilateral triangle in the northern part of WC. They point to the ridge pictured above.
A look into some of the thicker pine forest just beyond.
Jeogeorock’s unnamed partner rock already mentioned above. Isn’t this place fascinating?!
