4.76 miles; plainfield, ct naively thought i’d knock off another blue-blazed trail today, the quinnebaug. i’ve hiked most of it already, i just needed that last bit from flat rock road out to route 14a in sterling. it looked to be about 2-1/2 to 3 miles. “piece of cake,” i thought. “nice way to spend […]

3.72 miles; groton, ct so i was in the area, and once again, constrained for time, so i did a quick circuit here. nice, if cold day. some nice lady in the parking lot helped me put my new yak trax on. they were needed; there was lots of ice on the trail. lots of ice. […]
