7.9 miles; Thompson, CT, Burrilville, RI, and Douglas, MA Actually this was me hiking to meet some friends who were doing the Coffeehouse Loop in the Douglas State Forest, but I just had to do more mileage.

10 miles; Westwood, Medfield, and Dover, MA This was a group hike sponsored by the Trustees of the Reservations in Massachusetts. It was supposed to be 13 miles, but I cheated and took some shortcuts (I can read a map). It still felt as if my legs had been chewed up, spit out, and the […]
