brooks shoes are shot after the long run i just noticed. they are ripped where the fabric meets the rubber several inches. they still feel good though. i hope the shoes i ordered last week come soon or i'll have to wear trail shoes that are falling apart.

hiked 2hrs 29 min at devil's den in weston, CT. was quite nice. saw ANOTHER large water snake. snake # 15 and then went in the pool after and saw a gardner snake, snake # 16, # 13 alive. this is starting to be ridiculous. i have definitely overcome my snake fear though for the most part.
