4.63 miles ★★★ this is a connecticut blue-blazed trail, the sign for which i’ve passed many times on route 2. i’ve always been curious, and just this morning, i found my 1997 copy of the connecticut walk book, so i looked it up and decided to try a section. i walked the northern end, from […]

★ 4.42 miles ugh. what a miserable hike. the route i picked was all downhill going out and all uphill coming back. do the math… that’s more than 2 solid miles uphill. and it was hot, and the blackflies were thick and very annoying (some cheese with that whine?). the river was pretty, but there […]
