Just a little more about Tinker Hollow. Maybe I expanded the size of Tinker Hollow just a bit when I said it was a "cross roads". Of course, like many other such places (like Hoboken) the name covered a larger area than just one spot. But there was a corner there once and a schoolhouse on that corner. That was where Pickett Road joined T. Hollow Road. Pickett rd. starts off from Quarterline rd and is now abandoned about halfway down to T. Hollow. (Check the 1875 map) The end of Pickett is now used as a farm lane. We found out about this a few rears ago while looking for old school houses. Pickett rd was the one I think I mentioned in my web site story, telling how I walked with my Grandfather from his farm, through the woods to Pickett rd and down to T.Hollow (to the Lee Stone farm) and drove back my Grandfather's bull, which had taken a notion to investigate Lee's cows. I remember when Rt 46 turned south of Munnsville toward Stockbridge Falls and went through Pratts Hollow to Pine woods. The Bear Path was a steep narrow dirt road. I always thought it got its name because only the bears used it. It was lined with trees and woods and seemed dark and kind of forbidding. You can imagine how steep and hard to travel it was when you see how steep a hill the present road ( rt 46) has. Even now tractor-trailer trucks sometimes have "jackknife" trouble in the wintertime.
