4.25 miles; Charlestown, RI This was a new-to-me Facebook Group Hike Like a Woman Southern Rhode Island. Today’s group was 4 people. We started from the “Bucky Beaver” trailhead on Kings Factory Road. And due to all the recent rain we’ve had, it should have been a kayak-optional hike. Still, fun group and a great […]

4.6 miles; Charlestown, RI I haven’t done this one in ages, and it was a good day to get out and get a bit of mileage in. Although I did fall and AGAIN land on mah butt… This is getting monotonous. It was another of those cold, bright winter days, and the shadows were long. […]

3.8 miles; Charlestown, RI Today’s visit to Ninigret was organized by the “Take-A-Hike” group from Facebook. It was nice to see this gang again, and I had fun, but between yesterday’s and this morning’s hikes, my legs were beat. I plan on taking a little break from hiking in the next few days. It’s time […]
