Late start, not 100%, all the normal excuses.  Took some time working on old routes and maps, thought about the link from Granville State Forest to the Tunxis Trail.  That would be the goal today, to see if the Hubbard Brook Trail still would get me to Route 20.

Everything was in order, some of the old side routes look rough though, and there were no blazes at all on the Hubbard Brook Trail.  The swimming hole at the falls is posted no swimming.  Glad I was able to enjoy that when I did, a decade or more ago.

From the MDC parking at Route 20 to the gate at the bridge measured 2.9-miles.  I goofed off on side routes going back and ended with 6.3-miles total.  Hubbard Brook looked fascinating.
