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 […]

Pisgah NF Hard Times Loop

6.7 miles; Pisgah National Forest, NC I’ve been getting most of my local trail info from AllTrails, and this hike was no exception.

4.6 miles; Exeter, RI Today’s hike was with a group of friends. It’s been quite a while since I hiked this iconic RI trail and I forgot how pretty it is. In fact, I decided that I need to get back to this whole trail system at some point. We had a sunny and warm […]
