Seneca Regional Park, VA. I did a loop around the park, then ran the Potamac Heritage Trail to Algonkian Regional Park, VA, and then made my way back. I'd been meaning to run this section of the trail for along while and thought of running it many times as I've been driving home from visiting my mom. I was able to fit it in today though Samantha was waiting for me when I got home (Peggy had to go to sleep early). The trail was a bit muddy in the low places and especially getting through the Trump golf course (I lost the trail in there on the way out, due to poor signage). I was slow from the beginning. The early trails were up and down and whomever made them didn't get the concept of contouring to get across a reentrant or hill. The uplands were surprisingly open. I'd like to map them for an SSS event if I could only get the time. I guess the area has opened up from earlier explorations that I'd heard from others. I did run into one spot heading to Algonkian, where I was on the wrong trail and it ended. Cliffs prevented normal progress so I had backtracked walking up and across a steep hillside on an informal trail.
