Run / hike1:30:04 10.5 km (8:35 / km) +500m6:56 / km ahr:137 max:146 shoes: New Bal 572 Trail
Trail run at Gunstock - main parking lot over to the base of the ski jumps, then up Rollercoaster. Took the zig-zags up, then along the ridge to Rowe. Through the saddle to near the top of the Tiger lift, then did some bushwhacking to the right of the ski trail to see if I could find a good route for the new trail. Some possibilities, but also some areas to stay away from. Cut back over and up, did the last bit to the summit on the ski slope. Down the Brook trail & Saddle Trail to Overlook. Fond a couple and their dog within a couple hundred yards of the trail junction - had lost the trail in the last part of the reentrant. Needs some raking to let the treadway stand out and some blazes need refreshing. Met 3 more folks much lower on Outlook, just below the outlooks. A couple of good sized trees down blocking the trail close to where it hits the XC trails - will take a crew an hour or so to clear it.
Garmin battery died somewhere on top of Rowe - rest of the distance and climb is estimated.

Field checking some map corrections at Gunstock - around the base lodge as well as where the logging took place near the Cobble Mtn - Birch trail connectors. Some more to do - vegetation has changed considerably over the years.

Relaxed run at RV Farms to make sure all my parts are still working.
Interesting to note that my pace for this was 7:04/km, same as my pace on the sprint at Camp Buckner and faster than my pace for Trophy Point... Fewer hills, no need for constant direction changes, or checking my map every few seconds to slow me down.
