Started the day in Seth & Lucy Holcombe Preserve, trying to connect toward the Old Granby Library. Had wonderful success, with a variety of options.
Still felt good after that 5.3-miles, so I quickly (it was getting dark soon) drove over to the Dismal Brook Wildlife Area to see if I could make a connection to Holcombe Preserve from those trails.
Again, success, with only a quarter mile or so of bushwhack. Got in another 3.2-miles to get a daily total of 8.5-miles on my legs.
