5.4 miles; West Greenwich, RI Today’s hike was with the PCHC and a leader I’ve never hiked with before who took us on an exploration of Big River, and even gave us a history lesson, complete with visual aids. It was an excellent hike/talk. For background on Big River, read this Providence Journal article: Kevin Breene’s […]

6.32 miles; Rowley and Ipswich, MA Oh, well done, Bay Circuit Trail! This is the first of my BCT hikes that was entirely in the woods.

It’s quite nice, and really very big. I […]
