so no hike today. i did get dressed and start off, but the pouring rain (and the vivid memory of slipping on a wet rock and breaking my ankle) finally convinced me that this saturdays by the book hike (durfee hill, hike #25 from ken weber’s weekend walks in rhode island) was not to be. instead, […]
