We had three birthdays to celebrate today (Tracy, Donnalee, and Otis) and Easter a day early. Pop, JC and I also drove up to High Bridge to search for the Lead Mine. Pop said he was last there 67 years ago, and we felt confident.
Pop and I found two cellar holes, and JC wandered up higher and found the mine for us. On the way back, we spotted a large chunk of Chaga on a birch tree. Total hike ended right at 2-miles, with two crossings of the Tophet Brook without any of us getting our feet wet (water is high & roaring now).

Also, on this day in 1996, I was fortunate to run the 100th Boston Marathon. It was my 10th marathon completed, in a time of 3:24:14.
