After leaving the Six Mile Creek winery (see Brookton Hill & Dale post Brookton Hill & Dale Star Posts - #45 by jhodges117), I headed to the East Hill Dryden Rail Trail.
Of course, I drive into the compost facility before realizing the instructions said otherwise. 
Once parked near the Challenge sign, I set off. Of course, I start by going straight across Stevenson Road. That didn’t seem right as I was tracking off course on the RunGo map. I paused my watch. Once I had my bearings, I turned and started running down Stevenson Road. Halfway, I realized my watch was still on pause.
Better to just start over.
So I stopped my watch and RunGo, walked back to the sign, restarted both, and started to run down Stevenson Road.
When the RunGo said I was “off course and rejoining at 4.52 miles,” I ignored it because I was still tracking the course on the RunGo map. Only later did I realize that I ran the sides out of order. 
But at this point, I was moving, and once I reached the East Hill Rec Way, I felt some nostalgia at being on my last completed Challenge course here in late Fall 2021. It was great to be back. It was also great to be shaded.
As I had returned and was passing my car, I restarted the RunGo app and then set off to complete the course and explore an area I had not see before. Running over Fox Bridge was neat. So was seeing a little bunny on my return. There were a couple other humans out. Most of it was shaded, some exposed, but regardless it was a bit of a slog with the heat. Still worth it though.

I checked the radar as I had been all morning and saw a squall line that looked like it was headed right for Ithaca. The Inlet Shore Trail would be the last course for today, so I decided to try to beat the rain on my drive to the Greenstar Food Coop parking lot, and then wait out the storm in the car there. Needless to say, there just wasn’t time to stop somewhere along the way.
