Musq' Muff' Run new trail.

Last week my brain said "well since no one is coming I shall runneth the course myselfth". Apparently I was not quite acclimated to the 27 C. and ended up walking the climbs on the return, and along the way stopped to soak in the couple lil' cool, cool streams! Time 2:20.

Hop skip and jump forward to this Sunday and with a healthier 15 C, and a blood-caffeine level exceeding legal limits --1:52 or so. If anyone is out to run the new course drop me a line and I can add your time (or times of multiple attempts) to the list. Just like Strava eh?

Course Description: Start is at the normal intersection of the end of Bayer's Mill Road with the rail trail. Follow the double track (the old road, not the rail trail) to the river where the rusted car is. Turn right on the trail and head up to Skull Rock, but don't go to Skull Rock, keep right instead on the main trail. Follow the Admiral Lake Trail to the Cave, continuing to the Admiral Lake Lookoff. Keep left,going all the way to Turtle Brook, avoiding along the way the right turn short cut (marked Wilderness Trail) . Turn right at Turtle Brook (rather than turning left to exit the rail trail). Continuing along(avoid turning right for the shortcut back) until you come to the rather steep climb (most people will walk at least some of this hill). The hill continues to the sign "Lookoff". Keep right onwards more uphill to the actual lookoff, which is an exposed granite rock. That's the turn around point, so turn around and come back on the same way. Have fun. Be careful.
