On a recent hike, we found the remains of an old stone building. It's tiny by modern standards, and we guess it was used by early settlers as a warming shelter when they took breaks from cutting stone from the nearby hillside.
The beauty of this natural building material, and the mystery behind the ruin entranced me, and I enjoyed sketching this corner of the building using the reference photo above.
Don't you love when a sketch in a nature journal makes you curious to learn more? I ended up reading about the Civilian Conservation Corps in our local state park, an incredible story in this area's history.
