Made another trip to detail the "Goathead" trail in Hawley.  The out-and-back run was very enjoyable, especially experiencing the trail in both directions.

Some things noticed that lead to additional research were:
  • The swampy marsh area at the height of land, which is the headwaters of the Swift River.
  • The stonewalls crossed throughout the route are all the same wall;  there is a fantastic network of stonewall in this area.
 I only had a short amount of time, but the 4.3-miles was really worthwhile.
