10.1 miles; Coventry and Foster, RI After the last grueling leg, this leg seemed easy-peasy—all road walking and “ONLY” 10+ miles. We (for a change) had a glorious day, if not super warm, with sunshine and blue skies the whole time. This is a beautiful part of the state, which made the road-walking downright pleasant, […]

16.76 miles; Richmond, Exeter, West Greenwich and Coventry, RI Welp, I did it, I walked 17 miles (almost). I was one hurting puppy by the end, but I did it.

This one was too tempting, because it was a) short, and 2) you […]

Welp, it’s that time again. “What time is that?” you ask, astute reader that you are. Why, it’s time to give you my list of my top 10 favorite hikes of the year! What else? And because this post can get a little ungainly (i.e., tl;dr), I’m splitting it in two, as is my wont. […]
