Three 2019 Sky's the Limit Hikes

4.65 miles; Sprague, Hampton, and Voluntown, CT Can’t really call them all hikes, and I didn’t even bother to record the gps track for one of them. But I got all my selfies [Ed. Note: not so much], so that makes 6 down, with 4 to go for the certificate, and 8 to go for […]

TriTown Forest Preserve

2 miles; Preston, Griswold, and North Stonington, CT Today was a garden club hike on a lovely day, led by a member of Avalonia (there is some overlap between members of my garden club and members of Avalonia) and a very knowledgeable guide, who was able to identify bird calls and plants. Plus, I got […]

13 miles; Foster and Burriville, RI, and Killingly, CT Alas, once again I won’t be able to do the last section in two weeks, so today’s hike concluded my version of the 27th Trek.

Glacial Park Boulder Train

Glacial Park Boulder Train

.9 miles; Ledyard, CT I’d been here once before and remember negotiating the blue trail just fine, but today for some reason today I just balked, and Jenn and I both took the yellow by-pass trail instead. Which was pretty strenuous also, but not “strenuous and treacherous” as the map says the blue trail is. […]
