9.5 miles; West Greenwich and Coventry, RI and Sterling, CT I called this Day 2.5 because it’s the dreaded Day 3 18-mile section, and I just didn’t feel up to 18 miles. Instead, I met my pals Mel and Bob at Pinetop and hiked the last 9+ miles with them. The detour wasn’t as bad […]

9.25 miles; Westerly and Hopkinton, RI So today I meant to do as much of both preserves as possible, but as usual, I got a late start and had to rush to get home before dinner. I haven’t been on parts of this preserve in a long time, and the tree work they did is […]

6.8 miles; Carrabelle, FL This was an awesome hike… for about 1/2 of the total distance. It was on the vast St. Mark’s National Wildlife Refuge, and as I’ve mentioned before, Florida parks and state forests are all criss-crossed with old logging roads. About half of this hike was on said roads. Not bad walking, […]
