Goodwater Loop long run

Today I make the trek up to Georgetown to do a little scouting of the Goodwater Loop at Lake Georgetown.  I've portions of the loop many times, but I'm making it a point to scout sections I've not been on before in order to prep for a full loop and possibly multiple loops some time in the near future.

I set out from Jim Hogg Park and ran counter-clockwise.  I had previously covered the section from Jim Hogg to Russell Park, but I got plenty of new ground covered on the sections past Russell Park.  I ended up doing about 2:47 on the out-and-back.  I had originally planned for two hours, but then felt pretty good and decided to go for an extra thirty minutes.  Then on the way back, I took a detour on a side trail that added the extra 17 minutes.

I'm hoping to set out from Russell Park next time and see if I can cover a significant amount of new ground, and then possibly just go for a full loop on the following outing.
