Down the sugar maple chute toward Mulatto Mountain (once part of the Underground Railroad). 3–5 generations ago this was all cattle-grazing meadow and timber stands. Now the graveyards are full of settlers; most of their descendants have left the mountains for exurban salaries/wages/
benefits; acreage of all shapes and sizes are available, and many buyers are reverse migrants —exurban/metropolitan/cosmopolitan refugees cashing their conveniences (also: crowds, unclean air, drastic weather changes, traffic & developmental insanity) for an older and perhaps more sustainable scale of living. This view/ perspective is not far from our 5 acres @3600’ / 1100m elevation.
