Another really decent day, and after physical therapy I drove to Tunxis State Forest to check on a side-trail I had viewed on my May 29th run.
After a short path to a view of Emmons Pond, I climbed from Hurricane Brook Road east to Pell Road. These are ATV / Snowmobile trails most likely, and can be advantageous for my circled world theory.
I jogged north to the trail head I used on May 29th, which dropped down to the Hurricane Brook Shelter along the Tunxis Trail proper. Having made that connection, I began back, but ventured off Pell Road into the woods on an old path. It re-connected further south along Pell, but there is a trail heading east at the height of land. An exploration for another day!
3-miles in virtual slow motion, but enjoyable nonetheless.
