River Road - Old Deerfield. Legs very very tired to start, but seemed at least a little less tired as time went on. Real nice day. Only annoyance was North Main in Deerfield is being repaved, right now they've stripped off the old stuff and it's pretty rough. Will be nice when it's done.

Short outing before dinner, totally flat except for coming back up our driveway. Some days it's really nice to have a flat option.
Pretty tired from yesterday, but not very much soreness. Not sure how I will manage Owl's Head (18 miles). Do they have sherpas up there?

ahr:126 max:147 weight:141lbs shoes: pegasus 6
Trip to the White Mountains to knock off the next-to-last 4,000-footer (no big deal, of course, to do a 4,000-footer in Laramie would be much harder, you would have to find a very deep mine shaft).
Nice outing. Weather was perfect, breeze kept the bugs away, had the trails mostly to myself, and no falls! Kept my eyes on the trail the whole time, and didn't really miss anything because there were no views except for from the very top of The Horn, and with the foliage out I wasn't going to see the birds anyway.
And the body seems to have survived. And to show that I am only 5 years behind the times (or maybe 10?), I texted a selfie of me at the top of Mt. Cabot! And she actually got it!
And then drove over to Marshfield (VT) in the late afternoon, very enjoyable visit with Mike and Vivian, lots of catching up to do.

Hiked from the gate up to the top of Mt. Toby, jogged back down the jeep roads.

ahr:123 max:141 weight:141.5lbs shoes: pegasus 6
From Rt. 2 up to the Shelburne fire tower, hiked up, jogged down. Mountain laurel, not normally my favorite, is in bloom. Overcast and very windy again.
Short but steady climb. Lower half is a relatively new trail (replacing the access road to the water tower) and is very nice, hardly any rocks. Rest of the way is the normal rocky trail.
I gave some thought to a second lap, but wasn't sure if it would do more good than harm, so passed.
I think the legs re getting a little stronger. One of these days I'll head off to the Whites to see if that is indeed the case. Two more to do up there, Cabot and Owl's Head, and if I am ever going to do them, I best not wait much longer. Cabot will be first, both a good bit easier, plus Owl's Head has zero redeeming value (long hike in, climb/descend a steep slide, no views), so somehow it seems appropriate for it to be last.

Conway - Whately loop. Got out just in time to beat the rain by about 5 minutes. :-)
4 PM
hike 58:35 [2] 2.77 mi (21:09 / mi) +482ft 18:10 / mi
Checking out the trails in the relatively new Cave Hill Conservation Area in Leverett with a few stops to ruminate on what I was hearing. Very fine. Lots of interesting terrain and, for someone else, the trails would be nicely runnable.
Still almost no bugs. Not complaining since I assume the FDFs will be showing up soon.
