"Good fences make good neighbors." So wrote Robert Frost in his poem, "The Mending Wall."

In this episode, Elliot Vosburg talks about his Master's project from the University of Rhode Island. Vosburg used LiDAR, combined with other technology and old-fashioned research, to map hundreds of miles of stone walls. Hear about what he learned and what he sees as the historical information that can be gleaned by locating them.
