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

Signage on tree signifying the Connecticut / Massachusetts border

Nice work on these signs

Entire Mapped Section, Tariffville at the Farmington River to Rising Corner.
