6.8 miles; richmond, ri better than half of this was road walking, and part of that was along very busy route 138. but the part that was actually in carolina north was great. the beech foliage is especially brilliant right now. i was struck by the contrast of these blue berries against the red virginia […]

7.46 miles; exeter and richmond, ri today was a hot, humid day for my first post-ireland hike. this is a really good section of the north-south trail—we were in the woods the whole time, with lots of moderate ups and downs. it’d be perfect in better weather, but the unseasonable heat for this time of […]
