10.06, Ashford and Union, CT Wow, killer hike. My friend Stacy and I planned this as part of getting another TSTLC photo, which we did first, then slogged through this intense section from Ashford to Bigelow Hollow State Park in Union. Whew.

4.5 miles; Groton, CT This was originally going to be a Cross Groton Trail hike, but my hiking partner had some time constraints, so we did our TSTLC photo on Haley Farm and then visited the latest Peter Marteka column subject, the G&S Trolley Line trail.
