Willard Brook Beyond SE. The original plan was to go to Gay City, but the Vibe has been acting up a little bit in a way that makes me not so comfortable about driving it on the highway, so I decided to change plans and go to Nobscot. But I has some delays in getting going, and then noticed that the starts for that event ended at noon, and time was tight for that, so I just punted and went car shopping instead (no decision yet). And when I got back, I decided to head over for a little run. When I left the car I was figuring on doing the standard loop, but then opted to do it in the opposite direction, and then at the top of the hill I took the right fork and explored what was over that way. It turned out that there was a lot more that I was expecting, quite nice trails for the most part, although the rain the day before meant that they were flooded in a lot of places, which reduced the appeal somewhat. Should be nice in drier conditions. I didn't have the GPS with me, but I think this was likely all south of the state forest, in Lunenburg. In places, the laurel in bloom was lovely.
