5.6 miles ★★★★★ hi, all, i’m back again to my usual posting schedule. between “superstorm” sandy, the follow-up nor’easter, and my trip to new hampshire, i realize it’s been a while. this hike was amazing. although there was no snow in the lowlands, i was shocked, shocked i tell you, to find snow and ice […]
