4.6 miles; Exeter, RI Today’s hike was with a group of friends. It’s been quite a while since I hiked this iconic RI trail and I forgot how pretty it is. In fact, I decided that I need to get back to this whole trail system at some point. We had a sunny and warm […]

7.5 miles; Voluntown and Sterling, CT Mileage hike. Um, perhaps I should explain that… See, I’ve been on Weight Watchers for lo, these many months (since the last week of March).

1.7 miles; Exeter and Richmond, RI Just a short pre-lunch walk with a friend around this pretty little pond.
