Red course at Stratton Brook SP (near Simsbury, CT). Lots of trail running with short plunges into somewhat crappy woods (mostly due to an ice storm a few years ago and not really represented by the map). Made too many choices to cut through the woods rather than take trails to the closest point. Missed on 6 and 9 which were both questionable features (as were a few others). Some of the bags were hidden in vegetation or deadfall. Lots of good route choices. Cloudy and 60's with some sprinkles after I finished. Probably could've been about 5 minutes faster by spending less time in thicker stuff.
