12.18 miles; Sherborn and Medfield, MA I really gotta be more careful about mileage estimates on this trail. I had estimated today’s hike to be about 10.5 miles, and it turned out to be almost 12.25. That’s very different. See, there were 2 parking areas on Noon Hill Road in Medfield. For the hike to […]

5 miles; Vernon and Rockville, CT The weather finally broke today, and it was cooler and much dryer, so I jumped at the chance to go on a hike someplace I hadn’t been before. I found this place by poking around the interactive hiking map on the CFPA website. Nice spot, and I need to […]

6.85 miles; Sherborn, MA Long stretch of this trail in Sherborn, and this section was certainly better than the last one, at least in terms of being almost entirely in the woods.

And thirdly, REASONS (which I will not go into). But I did cross both Route 9 and the Mass Pike, so this is for sure […]

6.29 miles; North Stonington and Voluntown, CT and Hopkinton, RI This was an excellent, if exhausting, hike with the PCHC. Much climbing, both up and down, on slippery rocks, and a lot of tricksy water crossings. It was great to see some old friends and make some new ones, and we even, at one point, […]
