Hikes OCky BLUFF: 
ACK among the hills, away beyond the hunting lodge 
B and about midway between the lakes and barrens is 
situated the rocky bluff, a mass of rocks, rolled out and 
pitched high by some upheaval of nature in the early days, or 
perhaps dumped off from some heavily loaded ice island 
during the glacial period. It ends abruptly at the south end 
with the bluff, down which steep descent one can pass by 
going between and around the large granite blocks and 
boulders, and beneath their shelving ends, which are all 
bleached and gray from years of storm and sunshine upon 
their south and east exposure, but dark and mossed over at 
their base and north side where they are partly shaded by the 
evergreens of dwarfed growth which are standing upon the 
tops of the rocks, between them, and growing out of .the 
fissures or small crevices where they can find a rooting chance. 
The bluff, beginning at the north, a quarter of a mile away, 
with three or four black mossy giants of rock which are 
standing upon tip-toe beneath the dark spruces, and which 
old granite sentinels we look for, as they are our guides to 
the bluff beyond, when approaching it from any northerly
