Regicides Trail, Part 2

8 miles; New Haven, Hamden, Woodbridge CT I finally managed to finish this one up! [See this post for part 1.] What an amazing hike. Really loved it, and really felt good the whole way today, too. Seeing some color on the ground at least, if not in the trees. I took this little shortcut […]

Hell Hollow Loop

7.5 miles; Voluntown and Sterling, CT Mileage hike. Um, perhaps I should explain that… See, I’ve been on Weight Watchers for lo, these many months (since the last week of March).

Coventry Trestle Trail

4.2 miles; Coventry, RI Nice walk through here… probably the quietest and most scenic of the Washington Secondary sections we’ve done. This walk ended a little to the west of Route 102 in Coventry.

Temps for our last section of this, done last December, were in the single digits. Today it was expected that they might hit TRIPLE digits. Ah, New England… Because it […]

Regicides Trail, Part 1

6 miles; New Haven, CT I decided to do this 7-mile blue-blazed trail in sections after seeing how intense it was with my friend Stacy last month. VERY glad I made this decision. It’s a rugged trail and has some serious ups and downs. Interesting, though. Can’t wait to do more. First off, last month […]
