Three 2019 Sky's the Limit Hikes

4.65 miles; Sprague, Hampton, and Voluntown, CT Can’t really call them all hikes, and I didn’t even bother to record the gps track for one of them. But I got all my selfies [Ed. Note: not so much], so that makes 6 down, with 4 to go for the certificate, and 8 to go for […]

Equinox Hike Lantern Hill

Equinox Hike Lantern Hill

1 miles; North Stonington, CT It’s been a while since I was able to get up here for the Equinox celebration in my town. Glad I got back to it. It’s always a strangely thrilling experience hiking up in the dark, and this year we had a full moon, too. It was darned cold this […]

2019 STL#1: Rocky Neck SP

3.1 miles; East Lyme, CT It’s been a tad over 7 years since I last hiked here, and I guess I really didn’t see that much of it the first time because I found a whole ‘nuther set of trails that went over the Amtrak tracks and to a gorgeous old building that fronts the […]

I had heard through the hiking grapevine that this section, closed since the Spring of 2016, might be re-opened, so I decided to take advantage of yet another lovely February day and go check. Um… not so […]

Nyantaquit Trail

4.8 miles; Lyme, CT After my too-ambitious plan to hike the Warner Trail got postponed till Spring, I kind of slacked off. More than 2 weeks passed without my going anywhere at all to hike, and that was a mistake. My second mistake was picking this particular trail to start up with again, because it […]

STL#4—Moosup Valley SP

STL#4—Moosup Valley SP

3.28 miles; Moosup & Sterling, CT This hike is on what becomes the Trestle Trail in Rhode Island; aka, The Washington Secondary Bike Path. The stretch between the end of the pavement in Moosup and the parking lot on Route 102 in Coventry is in kind of bad shape, but there are supposedly plans to […]
