fun day on a hidden gem of a trail! nice conditions - high 30s to start, low 60s at end, sunny. i think this (mid oct) is a perfect time of year to do the trail - fall foliage at peak, trail not too wet, not too much leaf cover.
ran unsupported, 1L of water - didn't use it all, probably could have ran without it and the pack which would have been more comfortable.
note on gpx - this is an easy trail to get lost on - the blazes are pretty well done in most spots, but there's just a lot of intersections. i did a few bonus minutes here and there, it actually got worse on the way back. also there appears to be a re-route of the trail about 4 miles in (counting from the south) - i followed the blazes there, i think the old route is a bit shorter, and i could still see that trail but it seems less traveled.
