On Saturday, The One Hour at a Time Gang, cleaned and picked up on Pole’s Hill.  What a beautiful spot.  Here a couple of photos of the view from up there.  Even though it was cloudy so pretty.

These photos are from 2006. It’s a great hike from the Poles hill path to Sunset Rock. Beautiful views of Gloucester, Annisquam River, Gloucester Harbor, our House and our pond.
