On my return trip back CT after a wonderful visit with my parents, I stopped off at Savoy Mountain State Forest for a 7.6-mile ramble.  Halfway home I stopped in Goshen to take some photographs of the Goshen Tunnel (see Dec 6th entry).

The small stone in front of the larger one is a "rocking stone"

From the "Rocking Stone", I can see Greylock to the West

Just below the summit of Spruce Hill, two sets of windmills are viewable
