Lost Mountain Exploration

GH & Old Goat joined me on a trek towards "Lost Mountain", or Mount Riga, in Salisbury, CT.

We climbed up the Undermountain Trail to Riga Junction, and out to cross the road and climb Round and Frissel.  Then back.  Slippery and snow covered.  Great day, no Lost Mountain found though...

1st Grupa Dupa 50Km

January 4, 1997 - West Hartford, Connecticut

I completed my 14th marathon today, the "Grupa Dupa" at Talcott Mountain State Park, home of the Hueblin Tower.  Tony W and Janice K did a great job as organizers of this "Fat Ass 50" type of event.

We completed multiple loops up and around the tower, with a final distance right around 50km.  My time ended up a pretty quick 5:11:13.
