GPSing pValley - ...Carriage Road Remnants

Today--considering the monsoon we had yesterday--I went out to Trumbull (Pequonnock Valley) to hike and GPS trails instead of biking. 

I intend on remapping the FCNEMBA Google map of the Park but doing each blazed trail one at a time. Eventually I will GPS the side trails as well. Very tightly organized data sets separated for each trail will give me more precise control over all the data points. So I hiked in from Whitney and started GPSing (1) the Red Trail going south.

As I was traversing the Red, I finally photographed the faintly discernible remnant of an old carriage road, off of the red trail. It is down the hill after you cross the fire road going south. 
(the view here is looking southeasterly)
After I reached where the Red ends at the White, I (2) returned north on the Yellow. I ran into Kevin and his dogs right before the big climb up to the central maze and he joined me for the trek from there. Sadly something crapped out before the last stretch of the Yellow but I can GPS that next time when I will go in and do the White And Blue.
