Walking 43:39 [1] 0.77 mi (56:42 / mi) +16m 53:16 / mi
Off Parsons with W. Went there at Beth's suggestion since it had been awhile, therefore refreshing. After the small frozen pond and the cluster of boulders, I recognized almost nothing until exiting the woods. I had decided that a bit to the left of the sun was the default return direction. The woods are hemlock and mostly all knolls as well as generally open. I did come to a marked corner for the Meadowsend easement and had been there a few times in the past. But, again back into nothing that I could ID. At one point, I could see I'd only gone 0.25 mi - it seemed twice that. There were footprints and some paths I did not recall. Finally, I just stuck to a direction right toward the sun and eventually saw part of a house. I crossed frozen swamp, thinking that the most direct route to the road. I walked up an embankment onto a significant trail, looked left and was most surprised to see that I'd entered the forest about 20m from where I exited. All that in 0.6 mi. Felt like 2 mi.
