I took Tippi out  to Little Egypt, around the "High Bridge" area, to explore snowmobile trails.

We parked on Upper East Hoosic Street / Adams Road along the Adams and Savoy border.  Ventured on the old section of East Mountain Road until we noticed the orange snowmobile signs pointing us into the woods.

Nice path, lost a good bit of evelation along the bank of the Tophet Brook.  Continued on toward Reed Brook, and Ziemba's Dairy Farm on Walling Road.  Turned back and explored a sidepath to come out lower on East Mountain Road, about half-way up the climb.

Hallockville Pond Marathon

August 11th, 2005 - Hawley, Massachusetts

Today I completed my 30th marathon.  Locale was Dubuque State Forest and we named the event the "Hallockville Pond" Marathon.  

For company, I had Wuzzam being his norm good sport, and Tippi with her normal determination.  Old Farmer Tom met us along the Notch Trail on bicycle, and enjoyed a few miles with us.

This was Tippi's 4th completed marathon.  Our time ended up at 5:21:16.

Attended a concert at "The Egg" in Springfield, Mass with DL and the Magrats.

The Pixies played an incredible show!
