I had to go back to McLean and verify the connection to Holcomb.  I realize it exist for me on a map, and with data, but I need to feel these paths with my feet and heart.  The mind is another matter.

So, today, everything was right where it was supposed to be.  I did a big loop of the "Red" trail in Holcomb, which I think they refer to as the "Laurel Loop", which now cements two routes to get to the "Orange" McLean Connector.

3.6-miles of easy running, with a day in the high forties.  Not too bad for December 1st.  As a bonus, at the bottom of the rise just before the boundary of the two properties, I jumped six-deer.  They split into two groups of three each, and were magnificent creatures to witness moving through the woods.
