5.8 miles; Portsmouth and Middletown, RI I’ve had this hike on my “Wanna Hike” list for a long time. It hits a lot of my favorite things about hiking: a long distance, a greenway, mostly flat… all good stuff. Alas, this was just not my day to hike. I was feeling under the weather and didn’t […]

2.7 miles; Saunderstown, RI Compared to last year’s seal hike, this year’s was a big disappointment, particularly because there were no seals in view today. Oh, well.

12.3 miles; Charlestown and Wood River Junction, RI So, yeah, decided to give this one another go. I have a free enough calendar that I can attend all 6 legs, and it’d be nice to do the whole thing with Ginny Leslie’s group. This one hurt, though, since I’m not used to mileage like that. […]

3.37 miles; Cape San Blas, FL This was a nice walk with ZERO added rattlesnakes. It was actually hot in the bright sun today, and a great day for a walk. And the view from the pier in Salinas Park was a real treat. The bike path is a bike path. I don’t think there’s […]
