Old quarry found by chance on the Gilmore Trail short loop at Tolland State Forest, we were not looking for one.  We spotted the tailings pile and honestly I have passed this several times and never took a closer look.  Lidar by Tom Hoffman shows a significant quarry cut.  The tailings, drill holes and soggy gully are evidence.  Looks like this was a search for granite as it follows the main vein which starts in Becket!
