Wachusett State Reservation. Ascending. Echo Lake Road to High Meadow to Jack Frost to Mountain House. Made the smart move to wear o-shoes. Trails were very wet and resembled streams for much of it, thanks to yesterday's deluge.

Descending. Was surprised to see longer time, but I did take a different route which was obviously longer and did include some significant elevation in one spot. Really was careful on the way down as rocks were very slippery and covered with water. Mountain House trail to Bicentennial to High Meadow to Echo Lake Road.
Note
Happened to run into a school field trip on the way up the mountain. I was passing the last ones. Great quote of the day from one of the students, "I thought this would be a day off. Instead it's a long torturous gym class." :-) Found out the school was Groton-Dunstable, my kids old school and I was very pleased to run into Mr. Trainor, Nicole's third grade teacher.
