Taconic Crest Trail from Rt. 20 north to Tower Mtn., then a loop around various points of interest in Pittsfield State Forest, ending up at Berry Pond (where Janet had parked after dropping me at the Rt. 20 trailhead). Lost the trail once and ended up on the parallel ATV trail but cut back on an ex-ATV trail after about a half mile or so. Foot traffic only trails are much nicer than the scars left by ATVs. The TCT is generally well marked and gets enough use that it's usually visible on the ground. Quite a nice day, dry and temperatures on the ridge in the 70's.

Red course at Five Rivers on a recently updated and expanded map (contours updated from Lidar data, newly acquired land included but still needs some fieldchecking). Lots of trail running but summertime vegetation in the fields made for some tough going. Sunny and warm. Fun to get into some new terrain (and/or more accurately mapped) in an area I've been many times. Straightline distance 7.1 km.

Hot (low 90's) so went to Hand Hollow where I could run almost all in the woods. Took it easy. A few deer flies but I think they got washed off by sweat before they could bite.
