After the heavy rain, warm temperatures, and melting snow over the last couple days I figured I'd hit a trail, somewhere. I settled on the Mary Edwards Mountain Property in Granby.
I visit this wonderful area every couple years, always on the lookout for extended trails by the trail-builders / Granby Conservation Group.
I wandered off the "official" trails a bit today, on somewhat noticeable paths, followed obscure paint blazes on trees, and plain old bush-whacked a bit. I ended with an enjoyable 4.2-miles, with basically no snow and very, very little ice at all in the woods.
There is still a large depth of snow present, I figure on waiting for some of the trail "parking" areas to get some use before beginning to snowshoe. I settled on a 5.2-mile loop of Main, Suffield, Mather and Kent Streets.
A bit of celebration is in order as I passed my goal of 1275-miles for 2020 today, earlier than expected.
After yesterday's drive with DL to meet up with my folks for our seasonal butcher shop pickup (pork this time around), I felt it would be great to stretch my legs a bit.
But first, I had to receive my second installment of the Shingles Vaccine.
For the run, I parked in Penwood, and ran around MDC Hartford Reservoir #6. Total of 7-miles.
