Blue Hills Skyline Trail again. Originally wanted to explore the western park of the reservation, but I thought it might be neat to explore the rest of the Blue Trail. And it was, but then it started raining. I thought the rain would wait until I was done, but no such luck. The rain takes a gnarly trail and makes it treacherous. But, I had the shoes (if there are any such shoes) for the job. And I went down hills as close to the surface as possible. Only one dangerous slip (early, on the east descent from Buck Hill), a small ankle twist, and some loose rocks banging against my legs.
Splits:
53:41 (from Houghton Pond to crossing of Chickatawbut Road)
12:50 (from Chickatawbut Road to turnaround at Wampatuck Road)
1:09 (back to Houghton Pond)
Slow work, but I didn't kill myself.
