Visited Mt Tom Reservation early this morning in the pounding rain. Wuzzam's knees took a beating on the descent off Mt Tom on Friday, so I wanted to check for alternative ways down to Whiting Street Reservoir.
I found what I was looking for at the north end of the reservoir, and then churned my way up the old road past the B-17 Memorial sight. Just opposite the Memorial, there was a trail heading back south which "looked" correct for what I was hoping to accomplish.
The trail re-connected with the Metacomet, at a spot I recognized easily enough. The next exploration will be to connect some of Mt Tom's trail network to Little Tom, and then get over to the B-17 Memorial Road. I believe it will be possible both high and low, so I have some work to do in the future.
The rain stopped about half-way into the run, which ended up at 5.1-miles.
