We could stop randomly and look around and know that we'd find one if we tried. It's amazing that not only do the structures last, but the smallest stone piles seem to last as well.

It's mind blowing to me to contemplate the patience of a stone layer. It's about the whole process...from collecting, to stacking a pile, to building a wall. Very labor intensive...especially fitting them together so that they work together. The end result is certainly a feeling of accomplishment, that we know can last for centuries....a project that certainly outlives the stone laborer. Hope the strike is over!
