Halfway point was the 'Main Moon' Chinese restaurant in Simsbury, CT. The food was delicious and we were starved after 13.5 miles!
Simsbury was twice burned by hostile Indians, whose lands were deeded as reparation. No doubt the fire was spectacular as tar, pitch, and turpentine were manufactured in town. Simsbury has a long history related to metals-Copper, Steel, Silver. More recently the town has supplied world-class figure skaters such as Victor Petrinko, who have been major contenders for Gold, Silver, and Bronze.
Rest breaks were few. We all appreciated relaxing for a few minutes at the 3/4 mark.
It was fantastically comfortable to be outdoors. Warm by October standards, yet autumn color was sparkling here and there along the way. 27 miles total. Please consider a donation to support pure water. Enjoy past years blogs and visit again for next years!
