This podcast builds on the extensive notes, information and pictures recorded by Jeff Bondono (see www.JeffBondono.com). Jeff kindly gave permission for me to use his site for reference materials. I encourage you to explore the comprehensive pictures he has created to record all the sites covered in this series (and many more). You will also see that Jeff's work (and therefore this podcast) builds on the prior notes and walking tours created by Walter Muzzy.
