Pistapaug Mountain - Trimountain - Reed Gap - Route 17 - Route 68
Durham CT
Howd Road was pretty, the road was dark black from being rained on & freshly paved, the orange & white lines were bright against the black. The road was surrounded by tree’s and beautiful fall foliage, colors all exacerbated by being wet. A shiny, new, little blue Hyundai came down the winding road. I watched it pass by and thought, then said, “Wow, it’s like we’re in a Hyundai commercial.” Right after the little blue Hyundai passed a little white Ford passed and “Whoa! Now it’s like we’re in a Ford commercial!” We crossed Howd Road and found ourselves standing at the bottom of Fowler Mountain.
After visiting the shelter and enjoying a Halloween decoration planted in a nearby, and strangely “naughty” tree, it was just a quick walk out to where the car was waiting for us with a soda each and some string cheese in a cooler for the drive home.
