I traced my hometown's stone walls.

Hey Nutmeggers,

this is an old hobby of mine, but I figured I show it off: I noticed no one ever made a survey of my town's old colonial stone walls, and being fascinated by their layouts since my days with the Lyme Land Trust as a wee lad, I decided to trace them myself.

They'll never be 100% accurate, unless somebody wants to book it out into the bush and measure them meter by meter, but I tried my best with the power of winter-time satellite, which I found to be more precise than using LiDAR.

I had a much more expansive project 8 years ago, covering Stonington, Block Island, Little Compton, the Aran Islands, and Öland, but that computer has since exploded.

My end goal is to ultimately cover all of New England at some point, but for the time being, I have to play it by ear so that my laptop doesn't blow up every 3 minutes lol.
