Tunxis


Tunxis

This weekend I went hiking in the northwest corner of CT. On Saturday, I hiked part of the Tunxis.

My plan was to do a long hike, but I got started late, and wound up at the trail around noon. It was hot and humid, really beastly - sweat was running down my face and body, which meant that it was not doing a very good job of evaporative cooling. I decided to chuck my plans and leave the trail early.

I wound up doing 6.2 miles, if I believe the Connecticut Walk Book. But that just doesn't seem right, because I timed it at 2 h 10 minutes, which would have me doing almost 3 mph, an unusually fast pace (the trail was not easy). It's a mystery.
