i Ask the Old Farmer: While traveling through
New England this summer we noted that there
■ are many Mast Roads Where did this name
come from 7 Has it any connection with sailing
/lyflenX ships 7 FB, Washington, DC
MV Chopping masts for the King's ships and hauling
them to tidewater was a regular business amongst
feBBHjsHSBi the colonists years ago Weheheve that a mast road
99 was a course followed from the woods to the sea
Home Hint*: Refrigerate onions before chopping
them and you'll get fewer tears
