1.5 miles; Waterford, CT I have only been here once, at that was for the annual dinner of the Connecticut Forest and Park Association. So I didn’t really know what to expect. I dunno. While I appreciate the fact that, after their deaths, the original owners of this place donated the property to the state, […]

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 […]

Um… not so […]

2.7 miles; West Warwick and Coventry, RI I thought my last walk on the bike path was cold. I had NO IDEA. It was COLD this December morning at 8:00 am! If I recall correctly, it was about 16ºF. This part of the Washington Secondary Bike Path goes through, appropriately, Arctic Village in West Warwick. […]
