3 miles; North Stonington, CT A friend and I tried 3 times to get to the Narragansett Trail area that had the Native American stonework on it (see this post from June of 2014), and were frustrated 3 times, twice by the extremely swollen Yawbux Brook, and once by the poor blazing and trail-making of the […]

1.89 miles; South Glastonbury, CT This was another Peter Marteka-inspired hike (see this article in the Hartford Courant) in Glastonbury.

6.5 miles; Voluntown, CT It’s been literally 4 1/2 years since I hiked this, and not much has changed about the hike, but a lot has changed about me. Then it was an epic journey. Today, just another great day in the woods. And I got to kinda sorta see the wind farm in western Coventry […]
