10 AM
Note
Got on the road to MA at 5:30. Making good time despite this being my 4th stop in 5 hours. Diet cokes 4 = 4 pit stops.
Will be too early for my dinner date, so I will look for somewhere to stretch my legs. This will be predicated on being able to unearth my running shoes from the belly of the beast.
Tomorrow, the plan is to ride the Nashua River Trail from south to north and back. Then onto Pete and Lex's.
Friday, some sightseeing in Maine.

Note
A little pictorial essay on my stops today on my drive from Arlington, VA to Lunenburg, MA.
The first stop at the McD's in White Marsh, MD went undocumented.
Next were a series of stops in New Jersey.
NJ Rest Stop 1
NJ Rest Stop 2
NJ Rest Stop 3 included stopping for gas
NY Scenic Overlook after crossing over Bear Mountain Bridge
A stop at Staples for a toner cartridge, just in case...still unopened a month later. Sadly, I blew right by the McD's when I sighted the Staples, and going back proved more difficult then it was worth, so no double cheeseburger for lunch.
NY Rest Stop. This was the cutest looking one on the outseide, but it smelled very bad inside.
CT Rest Sop 1 - two attempts at a self-portrait, something that Bash has mastered. I think it is her long arms...
CT Rest Stop 2 for an even 10 - I think I made it the rest of the way to J-J's without another stop.

5 PM
Trail Run (Cowdrey Nature Center) 1:00:00 [1] 3.0 mi (20:00 / mi)
shoes: Red Fish
After arriving safely at J-J's, and with a consultation with him on where to go for a trail, I headed over to the Cowdrey Nature Center.
Crossed the creek
Went up this trail
And, this one.
Sadly, I didn't exactly remember the two turns I made, and I ended up getting lost. I was making my way back to the road when I hit a wider body of water created by beavers. So, I headed one way, when I should have been going the other.
At this point, J-J called from the parking lot since he saw my car as he passed by. After going away from the parking a little longer, I decided to bail to the road, and J-J picked me up and took me back to my car.
Slightly embarrassed. Glad that I had my phone on my since I was able to use the compass feature to head me back to the road.

Note
Nancy arrived a bit later, and we enjoyed a good Italian dinner and conversation.
Followed that up with helping J-J get the Hudson Highlander splits posted, and a bottle of wine.
