Checking out the Turtle Pond map.
Found what I believe was a marijuana farm, rain barrels (very nice, would like to get them for myself), terraces, bag of peatmoss (which I liberated).

CSU, by Ian, re run of last fall's US champs Long courses at Pine Hill.
I chose to run the Red, since I wanted about a 2 hour run. I had run the 6km. Green at about an hour in competition, and wanted to keep my HR in the Easy to occasional Threshold range, so the 10K Red seemed about right, the 11+K Blue I could never do in 2 hours.
I took a weird route to 1, having trouble getting used to map reading and running again. Pretty sure I hit every control location, although I did "punch too early on one of them, but eventually went by the correct spot about 20sec. later.
Big error was on the long leg, 2/3 of the way through I was sure of wnere I was on where I was going, then boom, a trail intersection that was obviously completely wrong. I stopped and went over the route, there, there, there...where??
I was definately on a trail going NE, and I wanted SE, so headed in that general direction.
A bit of out and around, 10-15 minutes gone, and I was back on course.
Apparently, according to Giaccomo, a trail fork I thought I had gone right on, was very indistict, and I had taken the left fork.....if only I had checked my compass....heard that before, coming from me!
Well with the error I got my 2 hours in.

Way to warm for snow, so it must be spring, and time to go biking...

Note
First NEC concert of this year Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsky, Symphony #5.
I love Tchaikovsky, and he and the NEC student orchestra delivered
a flawless, to my ears, playing of the piece.
Hearing music such as this in Jordan Hall, sitting just 10 rows back from the stage, is overwhelming experience.
