Met up with K2, Wuzzam, Old Goat and the Hillybilly for a run along the Nipmuck and Natchaug Trails in Ashford and Eastford, Connecticut.

We met early on Eastford Road, planning to run south on the Nipmuck until it joins the Natchaug, just before "Ladies Room Rock".  From there, we'd see how far we would make it, planning to run out for 90-minutes, and then turn-a-round to the beginning.

We were running a few minutes prior to 9:00 a.m., so we missed the earthquake that was reported in southern New England today.

Crossing Moon Road, down to Bigelow Brook, crossed Ashford Road, past the Hole In the Wall Camp property, and we realized that our turn-a-round point was going to be at some random spot prior to Route 44.  Decision was to push on, a bit harder, and make it to Route 44 "The Hartford Turnpike".

Hit this destination at 6.8-miles, with a final tally of 13.7-miles for the day.  Surprise was the warmth again today, easily reaching into the seventies once again, with full sun.
