Tefft Hill Reconnaissance Mission (and Hike)

6 miles; Exeter and Richmond, RI I guess I could have also titled this post “Tefft Hill Mushroom Hunt,” but that quest proved completely fruitless, at least as far as Black Trumpets were concerned.

Guided Hike on Preston Preserve

Hardly a “hike,” but still a wonderful walk. The first thing we were all looking for was Monarch Butterfly caterpillars, and the ones we found were teeny, […]
