8.9 miles; Port St. Joe, FL This is the main preserve, as opposed to the smaller part I did earlier this month. This is a really large area. I could easily have done another 3 or 4 miles through here. And it was very cool—so many tracks: deer, possums, raccoons, coyotes…even pigs! This whole preserve […]

7.93 miles; Port St. Joe, FL Eight miles hiked, and I didn’t even get to finish. The entire out-and-back trail is 8 miles one way. I got to about the 4-mile mark, and while I felt as though I could keep going, I also knew I was going to regret doing even this much in […]

9.5 miles; Charlestown, RI As has become a recurring theme on this blog, I really felt as though I needed a good bit of mileage today, so besides doing the 8-mile Vin Gormley trail, I added an extra mile and a half by visiting North Camp and the beach there. Foliage was looking pretty good, […]
