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, […]

7.5 miles; Bolton, Vernon, and Rockville, CT First it’s too cold, and today it was too damned hot; high 80’s. Not fun. Also I think I’ve about had it with Rails-to-Trails for a while. Also not fun?

4.5 miles; Groton, CT This was originally going to be a Cross Groton Trail hike, but my hiking partner had some time constraints, so we did our TSTLC photo on Haley Farm and then visited the latest Peter Marteka column subject, the G&S Trolley Line trail. Have you guys ever read Peter’s Nature column in the […]
