7.3 miles; Burrilville and Gloucester, RI This was a PCHC hike which essentially duplicated Leg #2 of our North-South Trail hike, except I was just not feeling it. As a result I opted, since I’ve already done the N-S Trail, to take a road shortcut at the end that cut off about a mile or so of hiking. […]

5.38 miles; East Haddam, CT After a long hiatus, I finally got back to tackling the Connecticut DEEP’s “The Sky’s the Limit Challenge” with my hiking companions Stacy and Dallas the Dog. Stacy knew this park quite well, as she lived in the area growing up, so we didn’t need our maps. This hike was a […]

4 miles; West Greenwich, RI Ah, Big River… what can I say? It’s a massive chunk of open space that was originally taken by the state using eminent domain in order to build a reservoir, and then the reservoir never got made.

4.5 miles; Groton, CT Ugh. I haven’t been hiking much lately because, ever since I got back from Arizona, the local trails all seem so… familiar and boring, I guess. But I decided I had to drag my sorry butt out today, and I’m [and I’ll bet you never saw this coming—Ed.] glad I did. I went […]
