K2 and I visited Tunxis, this time running from Old Route 20 to Pine Mountain Road and back via the shortcut.  Good for around 10k.

I witnessed a large porcupine early on rambling across the trail.  Roberts Brook was running but barely... continues to be very dry in the northeast.

Took the short cut on the way back, just after the Roberts Brook crossing.  There appears to be additional paths leading off this old route, which I have not seen before.

My porcupine pictures ended up too blurry due to low light and my hurrying.  The rock is above the ravine prior to Roberts Brook;  its right on the trail and you can not miss it.
