Running has been sporadic, and distance work has been neglected.  The Wuzzam and I took a drive to Hawley, and our favorite Dubuque State Forest.  8.6-miles of sight-seeing.

We explored:
  • Hawley Bog
  • The Old Town Common
  • The Serpent Stone Wall Formation
  • Potash Brook Trail (aka 7-minute itch trail)
  • The natural "well" off Potash Brook Trail (dry, highly unusual)
  • A new trail from Middle Road up to Moody Spring Road (awesome!)
  • Bushwhack Up to Hitchcock Meadow Peak
  • Explored stonewalls and foundations off trail
  • and unfortunately a dry Moody Spring.
