GOALS 2018

Another Goal I've set for 2018 is to visit a dozen "WilliamsburgWoodland Trails Properties".  I've taken some liberties with a few of the properties not being WWT but close enough to make sense.

While I'm at it with these, I can also make another attempt at locating the 1926 Memorial Plaque set in a rock in Williamsburg / Conway, which I did not find in 2017.  I'll be in the neighborhood on the Henhawk Trail.

This group also makes sense with the mapping / geodatabase for DAR State Forest.  South of the forest there was a snowmobile route that traveled through Tilton Farm Trails, Goshen Open Space, into Bradley, Historic Dam and then Conway State Forest.  I may even pick up Breckenridge and the Devils Den as well from exploring this again (it's been many years).

Here is the Williamsburg Woodland Trails list... 
  • Bradley
  • Breckenridge
  • Big View
  • Briar Farm
  • Graves Farm
  • Hall / O'Neil
  • Henhawk
  • Historic Dam
  • Petticoat Hill / Locke's Loop
  • Tilton Farm (North & South), Goshen Open Space
  • Lily Pond, Goshen
  • Devils Den

Old Marathon Reflections,  This day in 1997... 

Looking back in time, I completed my 13th marathon on this day in 1997.  It was the Grupa Dupa held at the Talcott Mountain State Park, home of the Hueblin Tower.  I believe Tony Weisgram and Janice Kuhl were the organizers of this "Fat Ass 50" type event.  I recall it consisted of loops up and around the tower, but I do not recall how many.  It was 50k, and I recorded a time of 5:11:13.
