My friend the Woods Walker convinced me to travel to Goshen, Massachusetts to see the Goshen Stone Chamber (aka Potato Hole).  The path leading uphill is one I have been on prior, with my old trail buddy Tippi.  Turns out we were close to the Chamber several years ago, without knowing such a thing existed.  The chamber is an incredible object, and something I will return to.

Funny thing is that when we returned to the car, there was a truck parked along side me (in the middle of nowhere), and it turned out to be Farmer Tom, a friend of mine from a nearby town.  Just yesterday afternoon, Tom and I made plans to meet up on Friday - so it was pretty awesome that we ran into each other at that moment in a pretty secluded spot, with no prior expectations or knowledge of being there today.  Things sure are mysterious at times.

Also, on this day in 2006, I completed the Metacomet Marathon with my dog Tippi;  it was just us.  This run began in Sunrise Park, Suffeld, Connecticut and flowed south through Penwood State Forest in Bloomfield and Simsbury, Connecticut.  We spent 6:27:00 completing a little over 28-miles or so.  This was my 31st marathon completed, and Tippi's 7th.
