6.5 miles; Voluntown, CT It’s been literally 4 1/2 years since I hiked this, and not much has changed about the hike, but a lot has changed about me. Then it was an epic journey. Today, just another great day in the woods. And I got to kinda sorta see the wind farm in western Coventry […]

3.75 miles; Hampton, CT We did it! Stacy and I completed the Connecticut DEEP’s 14-hike “Sky’s the Limit Challenge.” And on Halloween, no less (hence the spooky selfie).

Yup, […]

4.12 miles; Danbury, CT All done but one! And not for anything, but if this had been the first one of these hikes I had tried, I never would have gotten this far. This was a KILLER hike. A lot of elevation gain in a very short distance. My quads were screaming at me by […]
