Snake Fence Along Blue Hill Road

Snake Fence Along Blue Hill Road

In this view we see a snake fence* along Blue Hill Road with farms in the distance.* A snake fence is also known as a split-rail zigzag fence or Virginia fence. They were built of split rails that were laid in a zig-zag fashion. Rails, split medium-size logs, or saplings are placed one on top of each other at an angle, intersecting at each end. A pair of long stakes driven into the ground at the end of each intersection holds the fences upright.
