Out to run just after noon, visited the New England Trail (Metacomet), Section 03, US 20 to I-90 (Mass Pike). 

Couldn't really find the designated parking, so I used a spot near the large church lot.  Several hundred spots, and I was the only one in there.

Took a look at the Westfield River, where the trail comes up from the south, but I couldn't see where the trail was on the other bank.

The first third of a mile is on paved road, until the trail exits the long driveway to the Sportsmen's Club.  Not a bad half-mile from here, but after getting into the woods again after crossing back over the Sportsmen's Road, the trail seems fairly new (not bench cut, briars, wet, constant small ups and downs).

After coming out around the 2-mile mark at a gravel road intersection (Bear Hole Reservoir I think), the trail was outstanding for the next 1.5-miles.  The final 3/10's are along the side of I-90, so not much can be done with it.

Turned around at 3.8-miles, at the tunnel I had viewed back on May 14th, 2019.  For the return, when I hit the gravel road, I took an alternative along the quarry until coming out right at the Sportsmen's Club - then ran along the gravel road back to civilization.  Ended with a comfortable 7-miles on the button.
