Decided it was time to explore the Mohawk Trail in Connecticut, so I began the journey on Route 4 in Cornwall at the entry to Mohawk State Forest.
The Mohawk Trail crosses Route 4 at this point, today I decided to work my way west over Mohawk Mountain and past Cathedral Pines. Ended with a really nice run of 8.2-miles.
Toward the end of today's run, while on the road section, I missed the trail cutting off toward Coltsfoot Mountain. That was to be my turn-a-round point, but I instead wandered my way down to meet up with Route 4 again.
Once back home, DL and I took a drive out to Nestrovich Farm in Granville, MA to pick up peaches.

... on this day in 2005, I completed my 28th marathon. Locale was Dubuque State Forest and we named the event the "Hallockville Pond Marathon.
For company, I had Wuzzam being his norm good sport, and Tippi with her normal determination. Old Farmer Tom met us along the Notch Trail on bicycle, and enjoyed a few miles with us.
This was Tippi's 4th completed marathon. Our time ended up at 5:21:16.
