As a child I was brought up here by my dad on a history tour about age 8 or 9 and immediately was bowled over by it. I had no interests at that time. I explored the area for years ,till probably me early 30's. Haven't been for a walk there in maybe 5 or six years. My sister inlaw has an amazing view from her hilltop retreat (LOL LOL)jonrus56https://www.blogger.com/profile/14664210835655422650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-72971908310926536112010-10-03T18:34:51.084-07:002010-10-03T18:34:51.084-07:00Heather,

I have so many fond memories of Dogtown in my youth,I am a native of Gloucester and have lived here all my life. I remember as a child about 8 or 9,going on a guided tour and knowing who lived where and loving every minute of it. I also went blueberrying with my dad there many times over the years.He passed in 1997 and I carry on his legacy.I explored Dogtown as a teen and young man for years and have rarely been there in about 15 years. Some day soon I plan to take a walk there again at 54 years old !!jonrus56https://www.blogger.com/profile/14664210835655422650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-1682781534155660022010-03-19T23:51:09.881-07:002010-03-19T23:51:09.881-07:00A haunting tale and so sad to think of these women...A haunting tale and so sad to think of these women.

It's sad to think that Tammy was so poor she would resort to putting curses on travelers to get food, but hey, you've got to credit her with resourcefulness.
