Coinnut,
Thanks for a really great idea. I had been looking at old photos in the library to get some ideas of where old property use to exist but had to go to each town library. The amazing thing about New England is that at one point in time, most of it was farmland. Just look at all the rock walls found in the woods. The only 'bad' part is that it means digging through a lot of roots as most of that land is now woods and what's not woods, is usually paved over or private property.
In any case, thanks again.
Bob
