Robert Frost Marathon - July 24th, 2009

Amherst & Sunderland, Massachusetts

Tippi and I explored the Robert Frost Trail through Sunderland and Amherst (I think).  It was a day after a really hard rain, so the brooks and streams were really roaring.  We ended up losing a bunch of time "off trail" around Eastman Brook.

We parked at Amethyst Brook and did a bit south, then north to the foot of Bull Hill.  Outstanding area that I would like to return to.

This was my 43rd completed marathon and Tippi's 14th.  The run took us 6:03:58 to finish.

A return to Pilfershire to attempt a connection, which ran out last effort.

A run along the Robert Frost Trail from Amethyst Brook in Amherst, to Atkins Reservoir for Tips and I.

Tippi and I continued running in Mount Toby Reservation including Roaring Mountain and Mt. Toby.

I wandered about Simsbury's Lost Village of Pilfershire, with my trusty dog following faithfully.

Running in Mount Toby Reservation with Tips, including Bull Hill and Mt. Toby, along the Robert Frost Trail.

Another venture at Holcomb Farm and McLean Game Refuge.  This time, to the Pine Cone and an obscure trail to a horse rescue facility (update: 2019...   I wonder if the trail still exist?).

Tippi and I did some exploring at Enders State Forest.
