We'll take Pisgah Marbury and Mason Springs to Pisgah, then head back on Bicknell to Sweetman and a rest stop at Smallwood Park.  Leaving the park we'll take Smallwood Church to Ironsides and down Durham Church, then take Rt 6 to Mill Swamp, Blossom Point and Brentland and our main stop at Goose Bay.  After the break we'll backtrack on Mill Swamp to Fire Tower, Annapolis Woods and Poorhouse to an optional stop at the Pisgah Store (it should be sunny and 70 by then, so maybe a water stop might be welcome) before taking Mason Springs back to Chicamuxen and Hawthorne.  39 mi, 1620' elevation gain.
