My friend the Wuzzam hadn't run in 11 days, and wanted to "run about 90 minutes off Galbreath Road / Soapstone area".  Sounded fine with me.  The morning was much warmer than expected, and filled with humidity as well.  Additionally, Eastern Connecticut is seeing the worst gypsy moth caterpillar infestation in a decade, according to state officials.  The caterpillars are eating significant portions of shade cover.  Normally shaded "woods" are not so shaded this year.

We managed 6.5-miles on our legs;  we took a trail we hadn't been on, one that brought us up the eastern side of the Bald/Pinnacle ridge in a saddle between the two.  We noticed a few more paths we need to explore in the future as well.  The extensive time we've spent in this portion of Shenipsit really has helped us learn the terrain.  I'd say we're confident in here.

 Wuzzam and Zippy.

  Looks like a stone wall or maybe an old structure?
