10.3 miles; Coventry and Foster, RI Not my favorite of all the legs on this trail, but still a lot of fun walking with friends. And it goes through Ginny “Queen of the North South Trail” Leslie’s favorite spot, Rice City. This entire section is road-walking. Good thing it goes through some of the most […]

4.4 miles; South Kingstown, RI [Editors Note: Once again I’ve broken my solemn vow to not let unposted hikes accumulate. I wound up almost a full month and 8 hikes behind. Mea culpa. Won’t happen again. I hope.] Instead of doing my usual loop at the end of Duval, I succumbed to “I Wonder Where […]

12.1 miles; Charlestown and Richmond, RI I wasn’t sure until almost the last minute whether I’d do this again. I will miss Day 4 and Day 6 this year due to prior commitments.
