12.84 miles; Concord, Lincoln, and Wayland, MA I apologize in advance for the length of this post, but in my defense, it was a) a VERY long hike, and 2) there was so much cool stuff! I began this section where I left off last week, at the Minuteman National Monument Visitor’s Center in Concord. […]

4.73 miles; Chepachet and Gloucester, RI This was a mental health hike, not far from a family obligation. I didn’t have as much time as I would have wanted, but I did manage a good pace and a good hike. I’ve hiked here before and this place is really a lovely spot. Wish I could […]

7.5 miles; Bolton, Vernon, and Rockville, CT First it’s too cold, and today it was too damned hot; high 80’s. Not fun. Also I think I’ve about had it with Rails-to-Trails for a while. Also not fun? About 2,000 cyclists and 1,000 joggers coming up from behind. This is an EXTREMELY popular trail. The ravine […]
