Narragansett Trail Section Exploration

2.44 miles; North Stonington, CT Today’s hike was like deja vu all over again (see Pelloni, Phony Baloney). I had heard through the hiking grapevine that this section, closed since the Spring of 2016, might be re-opened, so I decided to take advantage of yet another lovely February day and go check. Um… not so […]

TriTown Forest Preserve Wapayu Trail, Part 2

4.2 miles; North Stonington, Preston, and Griswold, CT What a surprise! Back here for Part 2 of the Wapayu Trail the very next day! Again, the weather was unexpectedly great, and I wound up more enamored of this trail than I was yesterday. This is a gorgeous hike. Seriously. Do. Not. Miss. When I got back […]

I know you’ve all been waiting with bated breaths for this post. Okay, prolly not. But still, I see by the old calendar on the wall that it’s time again for my annual “Best of” list, so here it is. I’ve broken it into two separate posts. If you know me personally, you know that […]

Nyantaquit Trail

4.8 miles; Lyme, CT After my too-ambitious plan to hike the Warner Trail got postponed till Spring, I kind of slacked off. More than 2 weeks passed without my going anywhere at all to hike, and that was a mistake. My second mistake was picking this particular trail to start up with again, because it […]
