Took a drive to Hawley with Wuzzam, to put together the northern reach of Ashfield Trails. I told him around 12-miles, but I knew it was going to be more. We would attempt a run from Bear Swamp Reservation to the Mary Lyon Birthplace / Khandroling - The Land of the Dakinis.
I silently thought it would be around 14-miles, with some very long climbs. We ended up taking the snowmobile trail bypass on the way back, which added a little mileage. Everything was as I had remembered it regarding the paths. Ended the day with a solid 15-miles, gps measured. We did great and held up well considering we only had the fuel we drank along the way.

Also, on November 4th, 2000, I completed 33-miles in 6-hours at Watery Hill. This was my 22nd completed marathon.
