[Talk-us-massachusetts] perambulating bounds

[Roy Herold]

My understanding is that the painted dates tend to be tags by local high 
school classes as opposed to survey dates. The marker between Carlisle 
and Concord on Estabrook Road has a long list of dates that get into the 
'0x' and possibly '1x' range.

That said, there are lots of similar markers out in the woods that are 
unsullied.
