The Old Goat, the Gullivers, and a few others rambled out to Bash Bish Falls to participate in a marathon along the South Taconic Trail.

Another day in Granville, connecting more of the "circled world".  Completed 4.5-miles today.

Phelon Pond

Granville again, back in the Phelon Forest.  Single-track wandering was successful, only issue was the large area of clear cut which thankfully was short as a alternate path was "installed".

Completed 7.6-miles on a sunny-ish day just below 50-degrees.
