Beautiful clear day, low 70's and breezy.  Especially fantastic to be up on the Metacomet Ridge, which was surprisingly not busy today.

Still feeling about the same as yesterday, roughly 60% of what I hope for.  It was a bit of a struggle, but the enjoyment of being in the fresh air helped me get through the 5.8-mile round trip to the Notch and back.

This tree and rock have shared space for a very long time
