Right back to yesterday's starting point, Schoolhouse Road in Tolland. This time, I would explore the snowmobile trail going west.
Route was on the Tolland State Forest Map from Massachusetts DCR. There was a spur off Belden Road that leads to the gasline right-of-way. Due to the grown in nature of the grass, and my fear of ticks, I didn't pursue this during summer-time.
On the way back to the trail, I rambled down Belden Road a bit past the Otis Reservoir, and to the intersection with East Otis Road. Here, the snowmobile corridor sticks to East Otis Road heading north, and dips into the woods bearing "south".
More to explore in this area, but today was another decent effort with 6.4-miles.
