Short

This was designed as a dubious-weather route with lots of bailout options.  It's three short loops that all end at the dam, so if weather rolls in we're never far from the cars. 

The first is up the 132/Union Village road to Pattrell and Kerwin Hill back to the dam.  The next loop is Campbell Flats to Godfrey to Burham, where one can drop down to the dam or turn up Academy.  The third loop is Academy to 113 to Buzzell Bridge to the dam.
