2.25 miles; Killingly, CT Ugh. Another “swimming in the air” type high humidity day, with rain threatening the whole time. Had some trouble finding the official selfie spot on the trail, but I wasn’t alone. I met a nice couple from Hartford who had the same trouble. We hiked back to our cars together after […]

4.2 miles; Guilford, CT As I mentioned in my earlier post, I’ve decided to try to do the CT DEEP’s Sky’s the Challenge all alone this year :-(. To make the process a little faster, I’ve grouped them together and will do several at once. The first group I picked to do is Group 3 […]

13.4 miles; Foster and Gloucester, RI and Killingly, CT After the 17-mile leg, then the “easy-peasy” 10.1 miler, this didn’t seem as if it would be very difficult at all. Well, a 13-mile hike is still a long-assed hike, and I haven’t been spending hardly any time hiking recently. Long story short, I was really […]
