Some interesting info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holyoke_Range

Via Justin:

"The Horse Caves, a series of sedimentary rock overhangs located beneath the summit of Mount Norwottuck are believed to have been used as a bivouac by rebels during Shay's Rebellion of 1786."

Justin, can you substantiate this claim or is it pure conjecture?

Whats that, "Gay's Rebellion"?
Pete Conlin    20-Dec-2008  20:17
Yeah.... thats why I was standing there.

Apparently, on this exact location that Pete is standing rebels from Shay's Rebellion used the Horse Caves as a bivouac site during the winter of 1786.

Hi, I'm Pete and I'm standing at the Horse Caves and yes I know there is no actual "cave" here, but I'm going to stand here anyway!!
