Hi Gail,

My apologies, I ended up leaving earlier than I had planned and I reversed my route so that I could cover another reservoir. I had not attempted to print out a map as I have been using two street altases I've had for a while.

Yes, as I was going along the rain became torrential, making it very unsafe for me to pull over at two of the places I had planned - but our Lord is so good! He reminded me that I'll need to pass over/by both of those spots on future drives north of where I live. Then as I passed over a railroad crossing that goes over some of the local rivers He reminded me to pray for the Rail Lines as well.

My last leg home was over a narrow dirt road that comes through the corner of Monson, and Hampden, MA and goes into Stafford, CT and comes out on Rt. 32 across from State Line Pond - I am so grateful my old truck is 4-wheel drive!

This list was typed out when I had planned to start in the opposite direction, but due to weather I reversed the route. I've add the reservoir and pond that I expanded my drive to cover and looked up a couple of the rail lines:

State Line Pond

*Following the Course from the Hampden/Monson border to the Hampden/East Longmeadow/Somers, CT corner. The Scantic turns down into Somers, CT at the bridge on Mill Rd.

Hampden:

Rock-a-Dundee Brook

Rock-a-Dundee Pond

*This will complete my covering of Monson, Hampden, and Wilbraham. My drive covered parts of the Connecticut, Chicopee and Quinebaug Watersheds.

Rail Lines:

Cental Vermont Rail Line and ConRail

*Need to double check the line names as they may have changed since my map was printed.

Thank for checking in Gail and for helping cover these areas with prayer - God's blessings!

Also: I've been planning on my route a couple days in advance and going over mulitple maps and online resources to make a list of places within my pray-drive circle that needs to be covered - now that I've begun to settle into a 'habit' of making a list, I'll post my next list/add it to the prayer list before I go out rather then just describing the route/circle I've planned out.
