7.5 miles; Bolton, Vernon, and Rockville, CT First it’s too cold, and today it was too damned hot; high 80’s. Not fun. Also I think I’ve about had it with Rails-to-Trails for a while. Also not fun? About 2,000 cyclists and 1,000 joggers coming up from behind. This is an EXTREMELY popular trail. The ravine […]

7.83 miles; Andover, Tewksbury, and Lowell, MA This was the best of hikes, it was the worst of hikes… Not actually, but the first half was quite nice, while the second half was both on a bogus trail and in the city of Lowell. So not wonderful. Still, I got it done. The BCT ends […]

Most of my return was on the Southern New England Trunkline Trail, or SNETT, which is pretty nice […]

9 miles; East Hampton, Colchester, and Hebron, CT Oh, my, what a bad day my friend Stacy and I chose for a hike! Raining and in the mid-30s. Nevertheless, we had a blast. Oh, and also we originally set out to get our first STLC shot for 2017 and never found it. So there was that. […]

9.5 miles; Block Island, RI Today’s PCHC hike was fantastic. It reminded me a lot of hiking in Ireland, except more trees. But what with the green roads and a couple of stiles and the cows and the ocean and the hills… yeah, a lot like Ireland. Loved it, and the weather was perfect. So […]
