It is close enough to the end of the year for me to review the goals I had set for 2017. I doubt I'll get out to "complete" any additional stragglers, so here is what I had hoped for, and what I accomplished.
"Goals" for 2017:
- I am hopeful that I can complete 1000+ miles of running this year.
- I am also hopeful that I can record a post each day in this blog, for the entire year.
- Locate and explore the "Lead Mine" in Little Egypt.
- Locate and Explore the Goshen Stone Chamber.
- Re-locate the Balanced Rock in Williamsburg or Conway.
