Tefft Hill Reconnaissance Mission (and Hike)

6 miles; Exeter and Richmond, RI I guess I could have also titled this post “Tefft Hill Mushroom Hunt,” but that quest proved completely fruitless, at least as far as Black Trumpets were concerned. Besides, I mainly wanted to see what the state has been up to under Route 95, and was delighted by what […]

Bay Circuit Trail Section 17

| August 21, 2017

6.05 miles; Medfield and Sharon, MA This hike was interrupted about 2/3s of the way through due to a family emergency. I will have to pick up the hike here later in the week. It was nice, up till I got the phone call. I especially liked where I was when the phone rang—on an […]

Belding Path & Valley Falls Park

5 miles; Vernon and Rockville, CT The weather finally broke today, and it was cooler and much dryer, so I jumped at the chance to go on a hike someplace I hadn’t been before. I found this place by poking around the interactive hiking map on the CFPA website. Nice spot, and I need to […]

Bay Circuit Trail Section 15

I was, however, kind of happy it wasn’t too long, because it was soooo hot and humid. I couldn’t have gotten wetter if […]

Narragansett Trail Section 4

6.29 miles; North Stonington and Voluntown, CT and Hopkinton, RI This was an excellent, if exhausting, hike with the PCHC. Much climbing, both up and down, on slippery rocks, and a lot of tricksy water crossings. It was great to see some old friends and make some new ones, and we even, at one point, […]

Bay Circuit Trail Section 7A

| May 30, 2017

6.36 miles; Andover, MA Okay, so I originally planned this as a long 14-mile section, and when I changed my mind and decided to break it in two, I didn’t feel like re-numbering all the rest, hence 7A. This was an interesting section, what with multiple eskers and a cemetery and a kangaroo crossing and […]
