5.09 miles; charlestown, ri today i hiked again with the facebook group, “take a hike.” great bunch of people, so glad i joined them. this poor little toad probably thought he’d found the perfect spot in the crotch of a tree. he forgot that he was right next to the trail, though. everyone got a photo […]

5.91 miles; hopkinton and westerly, ri i started this hike from the hopkinton side today, because i wasn’t sure the blue trail on the westerly side was open yet. the white-blazed tomaquag trail starts out alongside two large cornfields, and the late corn is up. yeah, fungus shot. couldn’t help myself. it’s such a cool color.

4.5 miles; exeter, ri i decided to use a very old (1992) ken weber book to plan today’s hike. well, nearly a quarter century has gone by, and it didn’t really look much like the book described. weber talks about old farm buildings… um, nope. there are still some fields here, but i never really […]
