Rucking to find the million dollar bridge

Leave a comment

WARMUP: put rucks on, grab one sandbag to share while exploring a route to the spring trails trying to find the million dollar bridge
THE THANG: leave NAFO parking lot, go up the the traffic light and cross the street to hit the service road in front of the small strawberry field, the idea was to get into archer loop and go towards the barn but couldn’t find a clear path, walked next to road until we got to adventure rd.
Left on mill pond, all the way down to the new “half a million bridge” crossed the bridge and took a right on blue star until we hit the other “half a million bridge”, went across and went up the gravel service road all the way to the barn, left on parking lot and into archer loop, followed until we were close enough to the small strawberry field and went across the woods to hit a service rd, and then back to NAFO. This is what I wanted to do to begin whit at the beginning to avoid walking almost a mile next to Springfield pkwy.
Not happy with 4.5 miles, pax suggested to keep going and looped around the elementary school and back to COT.

MARY: take rucks off
