Made it out early to Tunxis, to complete the Route 219 to Route 20 section. On the way to stash water north of Pine Mountain, I was able to watch a young black bear cross the road and then stop to look at me. Brother Bear (Br'er Bear), first sighting of the year for me.
Wuzzam met me for the run, we rambled out north from Route 219 and took the alternate dirt road options around Indian Council Caves and Pine Mountain for the "out" trip to Roberts Brook (our turn-around point on May 20th). We managed the single-track trail sections on these two wonderfully magical locations for the trip back.
10.8-miles in sunny, mid 70-degree weather. What a way to spend a Thursday.
