We are in a solid rain pattern, which stalled my motivation to run yesterday. Today would be different - I was running in the woods no matter what.
The weather forecast predicted a low of 15% chance of showers during a two hour window mid-morning, so I stuck close to home and ran from Mountain / Phelps Road intersection to Rising Corner, and back. 5.3-miles total (2.6-miles out along the Metacomet, a slight side-trip to the chimney to add a bit on the way back).
From miles 1.5 to 1.9 there are five small stonewall crossings, which I've noticed a bundle of times but never actually counted. The stonewall work in this middle portion of the woods is pretty elaborate for this area.
Sign along Route 168 / Mountain Road for the start
The largest Stonewall crossing
Signage on tree signifying the Connecticut / Massachusetts border
Nice work on these signs
