Here's a static screenshot of the northern portion of the interactive map. Here's a static screenshot of the southern portion of the interactive map. 1.  Where I parked on 2021-12-9.  This parking is primarily for a bike trail that runs along the west side of the Pequonnock River. 12.  The Pequonnock River from a blue-blazed trail. 20.  Another view of the Pequonnock River. 21.  The Pequonnock. 23.  Out of the picture, higher up the bank, the bike trail runs.  The bike trail runs along an abandoned railroad bed.  The retaining wall must have been built to protect the railroad bed from slipping into the river. 23. 23.  How long did it take water to carve the rock behind me into a curved shape?

 On 2020-11-16, I visited an abandoned trolley route, and also an abandoned railroad route, on the border between Cheshire and Prospect.  Here's a link to an interactive map I made on which I put location numbers that I will refer to below.  http://arcg.is/a81bH  .  Below is a static screenshot of the interactive map. 1.  Where I parked in the main Mixville Park parking lot in Cheshire, CT. 2.  I walked from the parking lot to the top of a sledding slope. 3.  I walked along a path on the old trolley route to Notch Road where there was still a bridge over Notch Road that used to take the trollies over Notch Road.  On www.OpenStreetMap.org, there is a route visible on some platforms that is named, "Waterbury-Cheshire Trolley Line." 3.  About 100 feet north of Notch Road, the trolley route crosses Mountain Brook. 3.  Mountain Brook. 3.  David Reik with Mountain Brook. 4.  A cut through the rock on the trolley path. 5.  T...
