Visit with my folks, a pre-Mother's Day event. Brought them Mrs. Murphy's donuts for the second time in three weeks, a big hit.
On the way home, parked in downtown Cheshire to join the Appalachian Trail. Ran north to the intersection with Old Adams Road (just a hundred feet from the Red Gate Trail as well).
Ended with 8.2-miles, the return much faster than the out due to the massive climb involved.
Really nice section, spotted the large rock formation during the early potion of the climb where Dusty and I ducked into and under back on February 1st, 1992... "...Hike Mount Greylock with Dusty during a severe cold spell (8-degrees with harsh 20-mph wind). My Mom left us off in Cheshire, and we hiked Outlook Aveneue, Appalachian Trail, Old Adams Road, Jones Nose, and the Appalachian Trail back to Cheshire where my Mom picked us back up 5-hours later at the store on Wells Road."
