Middle section of run back from dropping the car off. Headed off into Peaceful Valley Conservation area off of Hunter Road, which I've always meant to go explore, but never had. Up to the overlook area, then some bushwacking (to avoid an obvious descent) and then out along the ridge loop trail. At the southern end, being a loop, it began to head back towards Crystal Lake so I opted to bushwack up the ridge a bit and head back towards home in the out of bounds area. But upon attaining the ridge I came across another trail system (well marked) that appears to be part of the adult housing community built over the past couple years across 32 from Webber Road, so I explored my way south along there and it dropped me off on Rt 32 immediately across from Webber Road, where I resumed my trudging on pavement. A very nice surprise and a fairly decent sized chunk of land close enough to home not to have to drive to get there... Will be back...
