Thank You, Thorncrag

I really didn't want to run in the fields.  The hay is getting high again.  I didn't have time to go to Bradbury (what I really felt like doing).  Fortunately, one of my errands was Hannaford.  It took me a bit to realize that I could just squeeze in a run at Thorncrag.

I was surprised to find only two other cars in the lot.  Perhaps the chance of rain kept people away - fine with me.  I hadn't run there in a while.  I always wonder why I don't go there more often.  I felt pretty strong on the hills.  After a while, I remembered I had my camera.  I was glad to have it in hand when I came across a very happy tree.  I wondered if the trail markers got in trouble; it is sort of tree graffiti.  It would have been hard to resist painting that smile; I'm not so sure I wouldn't have done the same.

So I squeezed in four miles on beautiful trails that definitely give an excellent work out.

Mt. Washington should be framed by the clearing, but it's too cloudy
