Hiking up the road at Skinner with my harness backpack on, towing the trailer with two gliders (Jon was also on the tow rope), then hiking the harness out to launch, back to the parking lot, and hiking the glider out to launch.

From the landing field back to where the truck was with Jon, then while he went back to load the gliders on the truck, I went up to the parking lot via the Halfway Trail to retrieve the little trailer.

Running back down the road "pulling" the trailer (it actually wanted to get ahead of me). This seemed like it would be quicker than going back down the very icy trail. Nice moonlight by this point, and I was able to run the whole thing except for one stretch on the north side that was icy.

In between -- the view overlooking Earl's Trails.

ES Koorb Dralliw, using the longer option at the north end. About 50 F with an inch or two of very soft old snow for most of it. Long-sleeve t-shirt was plenty.

Using the street directory from the Fire Department in conjunction with gmap-pedometer, I've come up with a total road length in Lunenburg of something over 104 miles. I can't tell exactly what is considered to be Round Road, and there are nine Fire Roads I haven't identified (most or all presumably short dead ends), and three other roads that I'll have to get out in the terrain to find, because GoogleMaps doesn't know about them. I've added the roads in the new Emerald Place condo development, as well as one other road I saw on the map that didn't show up in the street directory (and there could be others), and I tacked on the roads in the two cemeteries. The map also shows an unnamed loop road about 1.1 miles long that isn't in the street directory, which may be some private club or estate or something. Unfortunately, the street directory lists Manchester Drive, which I see as being 0.37 miles long. I had not thought that it was a street, but just the first part of the driveway to the North Leominster Rod and Gun Club (and access to Steve Violette's log landing when he clear-cut the big wetland and got in trouble with the DEP...). The reason it's unfortunate is that it's right down by Leominster Shirley Road, and I should have picked it up on my long run last week. I'll drive by at some point and see if it's gated, or has Private Property signs, and if it does, I won't feel too bad about omitting it.

I've been drafting Pound Ridge, and right now I'm working on contours. I drafted contours all day today, and I did seven of them. Each one took 50-60 minutes, and they average well over 20 km long each. I still have a fair bit to do on the map, but right now there are over 35000 objects (20000 of those are stony ground dots).

Game 1: 07 7- 8/ 8/ 71 X X X 81 7/7 = 160
Game 2: 72 33 8/ 8/ 9- 9- X 71 53 6- = 110
With Nancy in Lowell. The first game was my second-best ever, which ain't bad considering I started with a gutter ball. There seemed to be something weird about the lane, as both of us almost tripped on the first few approaches, and I was dissatisfied with the ball I had initially grabbed and switched to a different one after a couple of frames. I think this may have been my first-ever turkey, and I was too excited to look at the scoring screen to see if it had an interesting cartoon to note that. It hadn't even occurred to me that it would show cartoons based on multi-frame events (I'm all too familiar with the open frame, split, and "fence" cartoons, and I've seen the spare and strike ones from time to time), until the guy named Bob in the next lane open with four strikes. We had high hopes for him, but his game then fell apart, although all the rest of his frames were spares, ending up somewhat north of 200. Nancy bowled 101 on the first game, and I think 134 on the second.
