Took a drive to Williamsburg, Massachusetts in the early morning with my friend K2, with the Breckenridge Sanctuary being our focus.  

I wanted to explore the snowmobile path leading south along the Mill River, to Pat's Store on Route 9.  It had been a very long time since I've been on that path, my old GPS coordinates are from 2009.

I also wanted to end our "run" with a hike upstream on the Mill River, north of Old Goshen Road, to see if we could locate Devils Den.

The run was enjoyable, but my left ankle was very tender from PT yesterday.  Finished the running section with 3.9-miles.  The trails are in excellent shape, and the conditions were perfect for being out in the woods (50's, no humidity, and basically sunny).  About half-way down the trail I saw the old covered bridge, which I had forgotten about.  There are trails on the other side of the river, I believe I had followed those back in '09.  I'll re-visit at some point.

We followed up the run with a 1-mile hike upstream, came to a neat rock overhand along the brook, but we turned at this point.  The Den will be for another day, when the water level isn't so high (or so cold).
