On 2020-10-24, I visited Taine Mountain in Burlington, CT. I made an interactive map with location numbers. Here's a link to the map: http://arcg.is/1iKLD80 .
1. Where I parked on a broad cul-de-sac, Ryans Way.
2. This is Perrys Lookout.
3. A cairn at a high point on the Tunxis Blue-Red Trail.
4. The Tunxis Blue-Red Trail used to connect with another Tunxis Blue-Red Trail before a housing development was built that split the trail into two parts. You can still see some of the ancient blazes.
5. On a Burlington Land Trust red-blazed trail, I spotted witch-hazel in bloom.
6. A Burlington Land Trust map in a Boy Scout-built kiosk. The connector trail shown here as being yellow blazed was actually red blazed.
7. A red blaze on the connector trail. It would have made sense to have blazed the connector trail with yellow blazes, because now there is an intersection where red-blazed trails go in three directions.
8. Why had this boulder on the Tunxis Blue-Red Trail been drilled?
