    Were are the bottles?

    Well it was not always a woods it was onnce the sight of a house built around the 1850 or 60's. Sometime In the 1915's or 1920's another house was built across from the old one. And in the 1960's the property was abandoned. And trees and bushes became overgrown and became the woods.
