Westerly Grills All the Things

5.5 miles; Westerly, RI [This is a post from the distant past. I’ve been poking through the vast number of Draft posts on my site to see if there’s anything that might still be of interest. Thought I’d throw this one into the mix.] Way back in the Before Times, I had planned to lead […]

Mercy Woods

3.6 miles; Cumberland, RI Decided to visit here after Ernie’s glowing review of this place on Trails and Walks. It did not disappoint. Very pretty location and varied and interesting terrain. Great spot! Also includes a tiny little section of the Warner Trail. The trails are very well maintained, with easy-to-navigate bridges over water crossings. […]

Kettle Pond, Kimball, and Vin Gormley Trails

10.8 miles; Charlestown, RI Totally needed a “mileage” or “eat more food” hike this week, and this one did the trick. You know, you find the weirdest things in the woods.

Wickaboxet and Flintlock Trails

7.5 miles; West Greenwich, RI My weekly “mileage” hike. Came away from this with very bad back pain for some reason. Could be that I got a new daypack. It’s not any heavier than the old one, but it’s a different size; longer. I’ve scheduled a massage, so stay tuned. This is why you have […]
