Run - Trail long (Birch Mtn) 1:22:00 [2] 11.4 km (7:12 / km) +255m 6:28 / km
rhr:49 slept:7.0 weight:74.8kg shoes: Mindbender
Wandered over to Birch Mtn / Case Mtn. Started at Line St. I've run many of these trails before with others, but this is the first time I've run this part of the area solo and with a map in hand. As Swampfox would say - so fine....
Not particularly energetic, though it was warm and muggy which is not my kind of running weather. Passed a few mountain bikers, so it wasn't that bad. Spent a bit of time after the first hour doing some off-trail exploration in some spots that looked very promising from my crude basemap - it didn't disappoint...
This whole area needs to be mapped (I've known that since I ran on this part of the Gay City base back in '97), so I've decided to begin mapping it with no definite timeframe, but at least to make progress. The section covered by the old base is a pretty small part of the whole thing, but I've been collecting some GIS data from various sources, I've found some aerials where rock features are actually discernable and in playing around with what I've cobbled together, then overlaying some of them on the Dunlavey base - what I've got to work with is pretty damn good. Lots of field checking to be sure, but I think I can make a fine map without a traditional basemap being flown. The area I'm planning on working on is a bit over 10 square kilometers, but there's plenty more south of the powerlines.
I was actually out there about 1:35 or so, but apparently was paused quite often so the posted time is my garmin 'moving time'. I did spend a few minutes watching a big snapping turtle at the north end of Buckingham - opted not to wade through that section.

Note
due to a DMV snafu, it appears my car is sans valid registration.
Guess I'll be riding to work tomorrow.....
